Where can I get one of these~Thermostat Housing

[Turbogus]

In changing out the intake manifold gasket, I dropped this darn thing and chipped it. Crown Automotive shows this as a discontinued item. Other resellers keep telling me I need a different housing,

but when looking into it further, it's for the 6 cylinder motor. I'm trying an Omix Ada from yet another reseller, I sure hope it's correct.

4wd Hardware shows one in their winter 2010 catalog on page 295. Part #OAI17118.05
1972-83CJ with 304V8.
Hope that helps!

Thanks! but I learned that all of these resellers seem to use the Crown mfg. and this part has been discontinued.

If the Omix-Ada part doesn't work you might try allstate4wd.com. They've been able to come up with parts for me in the past when everyone else told me "no way".
Another possibility is AMC4x4.com they're a Jeep junkyard & may be able to dig one up. Good Luck & let us know what happens.

Ausgeseitnet, went out to Mac's Jeeps and they had several motors outside so I grabbed one and cleaned it up with wire brush, and metal ready before I painted it. Got Betty all together and will fill 'er with coolant possibly tonight and fire 'er up. Going to watch close for oil & coolant leaks since I just replaced the intake manifold gasket
