I’ve been thinking about a spacer too. I’m not wild about adding a bung to the RPM intake, but could live with it.

?? The RPM has two spots or do you need more?

Yes, I need more....I have a heater hose connected to one and the temp sensor for the factory gauge in the other. I want to add a temp gauge with numbers. I’m one of those guys that likes to see all the factory stuff operate!!

No, not in Houston.  That would be a wet heat.  Been there, sweated that.

Not quite Stubbie Even that method was mentioned John and I were more into a spacer at the thermostat to get a more accurate Temp reading. We see Chebbies all over but non for FE's.
Thanks anyway: I did save that site just in case.

I was thinking the same thing but couldn’t find anything when I was searching.

I think I linked to this one in an earlier thread, as they're a lifesaver, but I don't know if this particular one is the port/thread size you need.

The 18599 base number does come up with quite a few possibilities, though.
