66gtk Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Does anybody sell these? Where can I find a suitable replacement? 1983 F150 302. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986F150Six Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Not the correct year and the angle looks to be different, but I wonder if this would work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-1979-1980-FORD-LTD-CROWN-VICTORIA-5-0L-302-HOT-WATER-HOSE-ELBOW-D9AZ-18599-B/361902826665?hash=item544316e4a9:g:lN0AAOSwh2xYBtTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Part numbers are here: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/elbows.html Perhaps you can find a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 What's the thread on the other end? IDK what screws into an '83 302. I'm assuming 5/8 hose barb would be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link to the part descriptions was very helpful! Unfortunately none of them look like this elbow. I have no way to know if my elbow is OEM original. Anybody else have an original 83 F150 with 302?

I have no way to know if my elbow is OEM original. Anybody else have an original 83 F150 with 302? Did you ever find a part that worked? I am in the middle of replacing my cooling system and my elbow looks exactly like yours (I have an '84 California Emissions 302), I can't find any part in the catalog that looks similar.

Top view (note module screwed into the side of it? not sure what it is, need to research) Chris, If you can't find a suitable replacement, you can probably do it with regular NPT pipe fittings. You'd need what is called a "Street Tee" in 1/2" NPT, plus an elbow 1/2" NPT male by 5/8" hose barb, and likely a bushing for whatever thread size that sensor is...I assume 1/4 or 3/8" NPT.

I think the sensors are 3/8 NPT. I know street ells but never heard of a street Tee. Which is male and which is female? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think after further contemplation (and later noticing the sensor inlet on the back side of the fitting) that it is a Type #14 (D30Z-18599-A) - (see http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/elbows.html like Gary posted above) - the description in the PN tab makes sense now also. They seem to be extremely rare as replacements. The question is - do I leave it alone, or try to build my own? What would you guys do? I'm afraid given the condition of it that I could end snapping something off the manifold and having a bigger problem on my hands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
