It's not in yet but I have not seen one this short being sold anywere. If you know of one let me know because my sender bottoms out in this one just before being tight.

Back to the drawing board. Still waiting for the PM< to be returned from the guy who used to turn these down!

Re: Hey guys I need some help!

Can I make an off the wall suggestion. Why not get a T-stat housing that has the integrated spot for the temp switch. I know it's not quite as accurate as the head temp, but it is pretty close. Just an idea (I'm trying for a set of those plans!)
Would that work for you?

If I did not have an LT1 than yes it would work but on the LT's the housing is under the front of the throutle body and no room for a sending unit. I have also looked into the kits that put the sender in the rad hose but they are also only for 3/8" not the 1/2" that I need.

Re: Hey guys I need some help!

Could PM EROC and see if he would make up a few more, they are pretty handy if you don't have hole for the large thread. Worked good for me. Thanks again to EROC for his ingenuity.
