Which thermostat and housing do I need to use with the Edelbrock 7577 air gap manifold for magnum heads?
There seems to be three different types of waternecks:
Early (up to '78 style), which is what I have
'78-'91 Pre-Magnum offset steel type
'92+ Magnum Tall type.
Since I'm using this in a Duster i'd like to avoid the tall type if I can since I think its ugly and it would likely make my radiator hose interfere with my air cleaner.
Thanks for any help.

I used the 78-91 style housing and thermostat in mine.

Not to hijack, but are you plumbing this to the premagnum water pump? I still am looking for a neat looking way to hook that straight bypass fitting to the old style pump.

THere are 2 ways of doing it
1. cut down the brass fitting a bit so the hose can make the bend.
2. I just purchased the odler la style fitting and trimmed back the hose a bit a fit on no problem
