Thermostat Housing
Replaced my thermostat today and when torqing the bolts, the bottom bolt hole flange on the housing snapped clean off. Needless to say, I need a new housing.
I went to AutoZone but the one they sold me was casted wrong because I couldnt get a socket or wrench on the top bolt. O'Reilley says their Motorcraft housing is a 2 week order.
Long story short, where and who makes the best replacement housing? Im not looking for fancy (or maybe I am!), just need to be able to drive my Bronco!
Thanks

1984 F150/350, Bronco & Econoline 4.9L (300 I-6): There are TWO different types of thermostat housings, one type is 1984 only / 1985 and later is not the same.
Neither of the following have a Motorcraft part number, just Ford part numbers.
1) EOTZ-8592-B .. Thermostat Housing-Use with unleaded fuel (no, I'm not kidding!) / Obsolete
Applications: 1980/84 F100/350, Bronco & Econoline.
