Bought a new gauge from Dynacorn and trying to find how to make it fit. The bulb has a connection larger than 1/2”. The original hole is a 1/2”. The bulb for the gauge fits in the hole but covers the thread.
Where can I get an adapter or what size?
Thanks. Daniel

That is a fairly cold location on the block and is usually the home of a drain petcock. I'd look for a mounting spot on the head or below the thermostat in the thermostat housing.

Here's the stock location on a 216. Your sensing bulb should fit right there.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
