Fitting the fittings...
Hi Pat
I am currently running a Princess Auto special on my Chev..... the nice part about the Princess guage is that for $12 is comes with about 4 or 5 different brass fittings of which one will work.
When I make the change to the original cluster I will go back to the original CMP parts.
One strange thing we have observed here at the barn is that the angle of the original CMP bulb will not fit any of the modern brass fitting now available. The result is a bad coolant leak.
Saving that peculiar 4 sided steel fitting from the original 216 block is critical.
Hoping Phil can source those GMC parts as it would make our restoration so easier .... no one wants to drive a $3000 rebuilt engine without a good dependable temp. gauge.
Bob
