Hi John,
Mine still has the original cast housing since I could not find a new one
that points to the passenger side of the radiator. If you find there is such
a thing, please let me know.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] chrome thermostat housing (water outlet)
Just a little caveat emptor... When I built the engine for my El Camino 4
or 5 years ago, I put one of those shiny chrome thermostat housings on
it. It rotted from the inside and developed a hole, which caused a bad
leak. Today I bought the good old fashioned cast one and the walls of it
are substantially thicker. I was lucky not to get stuck somewhere. I
first noticed it when I was just moving the car from one side of the
street to the other for parking regulations.
