'36 Water pump fitting for temp probe
Anyone know where I can get the fitting to connect temp probe to the side of the water pump as shown in the photo? I do not want to put it into the hose. Any leads? Thank you

If its to adapt a dualtemp female nut to a male fitting that would go into the 36 left pump it does not exist to my knowledge.

Re: '36 Water pump fitting for temp probe
I needed the same exact fitting to do this and none were available for my 34 3W I went to napa and went thru their drawers and got a fitting with male threads on both ends. Took it to a friend who is a machinist of sorts and had him turn down the inside to give me a taper for the temp bulb to seal on. It seems to work even tho the probe is not all the way into the water path like it would be in a hose. it gives me a reading. I did not care for the hose installation as my car is a 40-50's hotrod original paint with no fenders or boards.

If I remember correctly,I used a rubber "O"ring for a seal. No leaks yet.

Re: '36 Water pump fitting for temp probe
Here is the photo I forgot to attach. I like that idea of getting a fitting off a cheap gauge, I will look in to that. Worst case I guess I will drill into the hose

Hi Digger,
Have you tried C& G in California or Stacy Brown at Antique Parts in Arlington,TX? Another idea is contacting a water pump restorer like Skip Hanley. They might have one to sell or know where to get one. Good luck, Bruce/CT

Re: '36 Water pump fitting for temp probe
I got a couple of them 4 or 5 years ago from Randy at http://www.rsgaugeworks.com/
I don't know where he got the fitting, but he's a nice guy if you give him a call |
