tartop Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I am looking for a thermostat housing/pipe for my 1929 Pontiac split head 6 cylinder. The one I have now has been repaired too many times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DITCHBURN 1928 Pontiac Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Good luck....Mine was also bad. The casting portion cleans up really well but that 6" long straight tube is made of a thin tube material and developes pin holes. I was fortunate to be able to replace the tube and reuse the casting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight8pontiac Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 DITCHBURN... I asked the question, if you had one, in the previous topic heading (Pontiac & Oakland) about the water pipe housing between the 2 heads. What did you use as a replacement tube? Mine has the same disease of multiple pin holes and repairs. Thanks.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DITCHBURN 1928 Pontiac Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I wish I could remember what I used...but I think I found some copper tubing at the building supply store. The diameter is also similar to a household vacuum metal hose pipe and also similar thickness. That may also work. The Water tube is repairable but it requires some inventive enginuity. If you don't weld I am sure a good welding shop could help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
