Good evening people
Hope your looking forward to the summer now.
I am thinking of buying one of those 90 Degree Swivel Water Neck Thermostat Housings
Q" are they any good? Do they seal OK and last ?

I have never used one, so can’t give factual feedback. I assume the better quality ones are the ones to go to.
I think Chevy BB & Mopar BB use the same style, so can give you more options. Please double check though

I’m not sure I see the benefit?
Fair ‘nuff if it’s something you fancy, but I don’t see how it could have the same integrity as a solid piece.
I stand to be corrected, though.

Hello Stu
Am not standard MOPA, I didnt see any with the pipe coning out at a 45% angle to the left as you looking at it. The one fitted in the picture is a stright up type. But with my rad being lower wanted to come stright out to the left rarther than up and out

That makes sense.
Note to self, don’t drink on a school night. I don’t even remember posting that.

Well
That didn't go according to plan, apparently the flange is not! symmetrical, and the bolt holes only line up in one position
Back to the drawing board
