Can't find thread again

[Les Robb]

One night I was sitting here searching threads when I found the one on 1976-70 hp Evinrude-Johnson about the tell tale mounted dead square on top of cylinder head. Had all the part number for 90 degree brass elbow and the plastic piece snapped into lower housing. I didn't have a printer hooked up so I figured the next day I'd bring it up at the office and print there. ( In other words I didn't write numbers down) I've tried for two days and can't find that post anywhere and my local hdw stores didn't stock the 90 els. Today I bought a 90 1/8" npt to tube and the tubing and fittings to at least get it on the outside of the engine where it would be visible but wonder if that neck down to smaller size will effect the visible stream. In Washington GA, anything to do with boating is limited to on line or 40 to 50 miles to nearest dealers, and the OMC ( Bombadier?) I guess that's right are even scarcer.

What he said. I just found it.

For some reason I thought it was in the top secret file.

That was a record fast response, and right on. I was searching with key words and checked secrets (wasn't there) didn't think of faq.
Thanks again and any thought on the 1/8' to tubing? I got a 1/4' tap out of my seldom used tools box and that sure looked like a big hole to cut in the head although I know it was standard in later years.

Thanks again and safe boating ya'll
