Water temp probe woes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi,

In my other thread (bagged '52 3100 journeys across the pond) you can see I've swapped the original stovebolt for a small block. this leaves me with a single remaining issue, how to adapt the standard temp gauge probe to fit the SBC? simply screwing it in results in water pouring through the hole in the middle where the capilliary goes through as there is no flange in the SBC block or inlet for the probe to mate up with.

can anyone help and suggest a way I can get this working? has anyone else got a SBC with the original temp gauge?

TIA
