Eagle Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Why not get an HO thermostat housing? That has a threaded outlet for the temperature sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Auto Zone calls it a "Water Outlet" http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/ ... 0odqZ9pd7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroxsteve Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 If you go the HO water outlet route be sure to check how far the probe goes into the housing. When I installed a mechanical guage on my truck I used the HO water outlet and used the smaller fitting on the guage and a pipe bushing to space the probe out enough to not bottom out in the housing. I pulled an HO water outlet from the Pull-a-part for about $5.00. I can post a picture tomarrow if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
