Default 01A-10889 temp Bulb Adaptor

Does anyone know of a source for these adaptors. I'm trying to fit a NOS 1938 Ford temperature bulb into Edelbrock heads. The bushing fits but there's no flare seat for the bulb.

Don't know if this is what you are looking for but last time I needed a mechanical temperature bulb adapter, Napa had these in both 1/4 and 3/8 pipe thread.

For 3rd Gen you need to call and talk to Michael, emails do not work (at least most of the time they don't). You will enjoy to the talk, great gut to work with.
