  • Includes gasket for a proper seal at installation
  • Air vent (bleeder valve) included for cooling system service
  • 2 mounting holes with 0.313 in. diameter
  • 45-degree housing neck angle and 1.75 in. outlet port diameter
  • Thermostat not included
  • Part number: 902-1060

Detailed Fitment and Design

Dorman 902-1060 is engineered as an engine coolant thermostat housing for the upper cooling system location on 1983-1985 Ford Mustang and 1983-1985 Mercury Capri. It is built to match the original housing’s form and service requirements, helping maintain a secure coolant passage and consistent thermostat housing alignment. This part cross-references Four Seasons 84975 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

  • Coolant leaks at the thermostat housing
  • Cracked or corroded original housing
  • Poor sealing at the gasket surface
  • Bleeding air from the cooling system after service
  • Fitment issues from a worn upper housing on Mustang or Capri cooling systems

Installation Notes

Verify the upper housing location, outlet port diameter, mounting hole count, and 45-degree neck angle before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and install with the included gasket to help achieve a proper seal. Transfer any required components from the original setup as needed, since bolts are not included and the thermostat is not included.

Quality Assurance

This replacement thermostat housing is designed to match stock fit and durability expectations for the listed vehicles and to withstand extreme temperature changes for extended service life. Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and upper-position application before ordering Dorman 902-1060.
