HH56 mentioned the problem with connecting a backup manual temperature gauge (tube type) to the Packard V-8 because of the lack of a suitable stock fitting into the cooling system. I was looking into how to solve this problem on my Panther and I found this on ePay:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-V8-Chrome-Plated-Water-Neck-Thermostat-Housing-Temp-Port-SBC-350-BBC-454-/380986753567

It is inexpensive but needs a different upper radiator hose than the stock one. I bought one and it will be here in less than a week. I'll let everyone know how it works out.
