My guess is this is the style T-Stat housing being described earlier.  But as Barnette468 said the port is on the wrong side of the t-Stat.

 

 

Would not using a fan temp sensor 10-15° higher than the thermostat, and located in the intake manifold or where the listed thermostat housing has the threaded port, accomplish a similar result?

from my previous post

"the sensor should go before the t stat"

yes the fan switches work but do not function the same as a fan controller.

I understand this but there are not too many other options for a clean install.  The Tstat and cooling fan switch are very close to the same temp so as soon as the Tstat opens the temp switch gets the "new" hotter coolant.  I could put the switch in the intake and move the sender to the Tstat housing if I run into cooling problems.
