Some small block chevy part help.

[heptofite]

I need to find a thermostat outlet housing that has three holes, the one for the stock ECU temp probe, the one for the vac tree, and a third one for a mechanical temp probe.

i'm sure something like this exists, i just can't find any.

halp.

something like this??

or this

 

[heptofite]

no, more like this, with a third hole.

Why would you have a vacuum Tee in the thermostat housing?

i have no earthly idea, but it does have one.

it's one of the feedback carb SBC engines, all kinds of retarded shit on it.

Ok I give up! year, make, model and engine size I keep finding some with vacuum line and some with temp but not together.

no, that's the stock housing, i need one with THREE sensor plugs.

 

[ranger_mclaren]

I dunno the one from autozone has three. I thought the one from ebay had three too but the sensor plugs was still in it.

Thats the best I can do, auto part stores should have what your looking for they always seem to be able to get any part for any year for any GM product.

the reason for the vacuum size ports would be for carb heating ports if I had to guess.

small block intake manifolds usually have at least 1 or 2 NPT ports under the thermostat from what I've seen (I work with 350's every day at work)

go to the hardware store and get a street tee (one male and two female) to gain another hole for sensors

that doesn't work for temp, it's wildly innacurate when the probe isn't in the coolant flow.

T-s work fine for pressure, but shitty for temp.
