Great pics as I read thread today on your 2016 renovation project that were linked to this thread.

I see the one I used isn't available anymore, but at least with my engine, any 2" gauge with 1/8" npt pipe threads will work and thread right into the thermostat housing. No need to buy the brass fittings. But I will say some people with the same model said they had to drill and tap the housing to thread it. I'm not sure why theirs didn't work and mine did.
If you are having issues with overheating, first pull out the screen in front of the radiator and see if it's clogged. If mine would get the least little bit clogged the temp would rise quickly.
