We are looking for a chrome 45 degree water neck. All we can find are Chevrolet which have a different spread on the holes. Has anybody come across a place that makes this type of water neck, chrome or billet?

Thanks for link but a Chevy water neck won't fit. We're hoping to find a Pontiac water neck. They are elusive.

You literally want a 45 degree housing? You can't use the standard pontiac straight up or the later 70's style one that's laid down? If not, I imagine you won't find one already made since Pontiac really only used the 2 styles like this http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Gasket-2667-Ring-Style/dp/B000CMIY9A

I'm certain you can get them at an auto parts store like Oreily's, that's where I ordered one. They are available in two angles.
Yup. Mr gasket, like posted above.

We're running a steel braided hose which doesn't allow much for bending. We have the 90 on it right now but the hose lays on the rocker arm covers. There's just not much there to make a support to raise the hose or any place to bolt one to.

Thanks for link but a Chevy water neck won't fit. We're hoping to find a Pontiac water neck. They are elusive. The ad states it is compatible with the Pontiac.

The stock water neck broke twice so I bought one that wasn't cast. I believe it was a Mr. Gasket for a '76.
