Does anyone know where I can find an aftermarket thermostat housing that is tapped for a coolant temperature sending unit? I had one on a 1969 Dodge 318 once, but I can't locate one for my 1987 Oldsmobile 307. I want to keep the light. Or is there somewhere else on the block that I can mount one? The engine is stock and complete.
I just don't care much for the in-hose mounts.

I'm afraid I've never seen a t-stat housing like that for an Olds. I assume you have the stock CCC system on your 307, so you're using all the mounting locations in the intake with factory senders and sensors. The best you could do is use one of the fittings that goes in the upper radiator hose and provides a bung for mounting the sending unit.

Welcome to CO.

 

Y'know, that Steiger doesn't look half bad... And the price is attractive as well. I'll go for it.
And thanks, Oldsguy, for the welcome.
