cooling parts source problem
hey guys. I am in need of a new thermostat housing and water pump bypass manifold for my 1964 ford f100 with a 292. I had found them at one time at sacramento vintage ford but now cant seem to find the water pump bypass manifold. Is that the only source?????

water pump bypass manifold.
I need one too but I'm just going to make one because the one that I have is a mess.

Making one is may be less hassle than trying to find them new. Dont be afraid to use heavier wall tubing than the flimsy stuff the originals had. Though I didnt measure it, the wall I used is at least 3 times the original thickness. No problem, and it will definitely outlast the engine, probably me.
I have a used water pump that seems to be a good candidate for going back on an engine as is. Maybe it's bypass fitting is also in good shape. Will check tomorrow.
