Thermostat Housing & Heater Outlet Elbow
Folks
I have an '88 F150 with the 300" I6.
The bent tube from the thermostat housing that connects to the heater inlet hose - and has an ECM temp sensor screwed in - is so corroded it looks like it could go at any time, although the stat housing itself is just fine.
I understand that Ford does not have these outlet tubes any longer, and I cannot find one here in Atlantic Canada from a wreck.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how one might be MacGyvered? If it wasn't for the sensor, I could see it wouldn't be that bad but the need to have a T - or other threaded fitting - for that temp sensor is bugging me.
Thanks.
