The water outlet/ filler neck on my '57 Dodge wagon is rusted out I know these are the same on other makes, have they ever been reproduced? Thanks

The original angled '57 thermostat housing is stamped steel, the later versions are cast iron. Neither of the angled housings are being repopped, the only ones being repopped are the much later short straight housings which would probably work with the right hose.

Yes, the thermostat housing, thing's got 3 names . Mine has a sheet metal neck, I will take a photo today and post it. Oh, and I don't hear the crickets chirping?
