Found angled thermostat housing for 440 with air

[Gregory Hayft]

Hello,
I'm looking for an angled, oem type thermostat housing for a 1968 440 with air conditioning. Rusty is ok, I'm not having any luck finding a new one that's not chrome.
Thanks

A 1970 440 with air uses the same thermostat housing as non air. Pointing straight up aluminum. 2780970

It was the 1968 and older A/C bracket system that needs the angled housing.

Actually the straight up one with part number 2780970 is the only one listed in the ‘67 parts book.

Thanks for the information, my ac bracket must be '68 and older

Here is a 1970 440
Notice the alt and AC brackets and how low the alternator is compared to valve cover.

This is 1961 413
Notice the alternator is way higher than valve cover and is upside down. The Ac. Compressor is tilted and further to center so the angled water neck is needed here.

I think I have an aftermarket aluminum angled housing/waterneck/elbow that I would sell.
