fitting question
**** Well, if you say so, Rusty. I was surprised to
find that the fitting for a Chevy engine fit my 2 bolt thermostat housing, but
if fit it just fine. If you have a later engine with a 3 bolt hold
pattern then, you are correct it won't fit.
Now you've
got me really curious. I've got two identical housings, one that came
with the generator engine, and one that was on a junk engine that Tommy gave
me. Both are 86-88 vintage housings. Both have two bolts, with a
2-3/4" spacing between them. Can someone else check their thermostat
housing bolt spacing, and see if they have something different? I didn't
measure the Chevy, but it was about 1/4" wider than
mine.
Thanks,
Rusty
Rusty,
I must apologize, it was not a Chevy fitting, it was a Ford fitting. In
fact, I found EARLS part number for it. Its part No. 166106 (color red-
I think they make it in blue and aluminum color)), I tried searching a
few websites for it and could not find it. Don't know if they
discontinued it or they simple don't list it.
You might try
calling EARLS store and asking.
Sorry 'bout
that
