frankensteinZ Posted June 23, 2003 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2003 How's it going everybody. I have been trying to get a part for my thermostat housing and no one has it. I tried Msa, victoria, and the nissan dealer, no luck. What I am looking for is part of the thermostat housing. It is a hose connector to the thermostat housing. It is off a 72 240z. The housing directs water in two routes from the housing. One is directly into the engine where it is bolted on at and the other is through a hose that goes into the intake manifold. There is a connector that screws into the housing that the hose going to the intake manifold attaches to. This connector is what I am looking for. I can't believe something this simple is keeping my car in the garage but it is. Anyone have a clue where I can find this part?Frankenstein Z Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/6749-thermostat-housing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 23, 2003 Share #2 Posted June 23, 2003 Most people just screw a plumbing pipe plug(hardware store) into it and eliminate the intake water supply.It's not required.If you want it plug it and keep looking.At least you can drive the car.Make sure its a plumbing plug.There are electrical types.The difference is all plumbing thread are tapered to seal.Others are just straight threads.Compare them and you'll see what I mean.
