Welcome to FTE

7HT8592 .. Thermostat Housing / Obsolete

Fits: 226 & 254 I-6's.

It's not listed in Dennis Carpenter's 1948/56 catalog.

Sorry...no Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Are you missing one or did one of the ears get broken off...BTDT. I found a good one on ebay. I have a couple of spares but both have one ear broken. There is enough meat left that it will seal. I was using one of them until I found the unbroken one.

I bet Stacy Brown in Dallas Texas has one new ! Heck a friend of mine took my 226 and sold it for scrap cause he thought I didn't want it . See, I had several old engines stashed away in his garage . Anyway, its Antique Auto Suply on Colorado Lane in Arlington Texas. an I for got the phone but tell em I said HI ! Ed Shaver
