thermostat housing for offenhauser intake

Hello, I am installing a offenhauser dual port manifold on my TR8 and I need a new thermostat housing with the additional small water inlet. The one I have , the large inlet interfears with the distributor. I have not been able to find a replacement that will work. It has been suggested I plug off the additional small water inlet and use my original TR8 thermostat housing. I would rather find a new housing instead of plugging things up. Can anyone help. Thanks, Paul

I may have one. I will have to look into my box of odd ball thermostat housings. It might be a be a buick but still the same in the end.
