    Thermostat Housing

     



    Some of the chevy engines came w/ a threaded port for a water temp senor. Anyone have an idea what years or vehicles they came in? The intake i have doesn't have a port for the senor.

    Looks like this......

    I've tried to find these before and I seem to remember that they come from a marine dealer.

    Try bouncing around in the late 70's and early 80's pickups with a 350 engine.....there were some trucks that had the vacuum switch screwed into the t-stat housing that would turn vacuum on when the engine got hot.
