Engines running alcohol-based antifreeze got a 160, and engines with "permanent" (ethylene glycol) antifreeze got a 180 stat. 195's didn't come out until after the clean air act of 1968 when it was determined that hot-running engines with 14# radiator caps ran cleaner and warmed up faster to minimize air pollution during the first few minutes of operation. I can see no reason to run a 195 thermostat on any stovebolt engine unless it's running tight-clearanced hypereutectic pistons and other reduced clearances and super-thin oil like a modern engine.
