Tried to use my 65 t stat housing,but one bolt does not line up. I also noticed the t stat gasket did not line up also.I will just elongate one hole in the t stat houing,so it wont be a big deal,just wondering if anybody else had a problem?NOT TRYING TO BASH 440 SOURCE,they have been good to me.

Not sure if anyone has called Brandon to tell him his supplier has the wrong dimensions on the blueprint or not.

I'm sure that if Brandon was told about it he will contact his vendor and get the bolt holes put back in the correct spot. There isn't any good reason for the vendor to drill the holes in the wrong spot. It doesn't save any money or anything, still need to drill and tap two holes.

I am in the process of intalling a 440 in a 66 Coronet as we speak...using a pasenger side outlet 440 source housing this time...guess what...stupid bolt holes are too close on this one Im using a thicker flange t-stat housing, so the hole elongating process is S L O W Brandon fix your stuff!

And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
