Technical Thermostat Neck Help/287 V8 55 Pontiac

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Kustom55, Jul 1, 2019.

  1. I spent the better part of the last month replacing my water pump, thermostat, hoses and fluid including rebuilding the radiator. A few days after all this and enjoying a cooler running car, my thermostat housing cracked. It wasn't from overtightening, I made sure of that.
    Question is: I cannot locate a replacement neck anywhere. Does anyone know if another make/model will work? The neck is straight with no curve. Pic of the damage 20190629_161921.jpg
     
  2. can you take a better photo and post hole sizes and distance. I can look through my stash.
     
  3. Appreciate it; do these help? End to end and center hole to center hole. The bole head is a 9/16 and bolt opening on the neck is 3/8 diameter. The top water neck opening is 1.5" diameter and the base diameter is 2 11/16.
