Need water outlet help for a crossfire

Hello. I've been lurking here for awhile, lots of great cars and info. Very informative and helpful so far.
I hope someone can help me out with my problem. I've got a 1982 Trans Am with the Crossfire engine. The water outlet is cracked, and I can not find a replacement that will fit. Tried a bunch of local places, but no luck, they all want to give me the one that hits on the AC bracket. Does anyone know of a one from something else that might fit. Has anyone used and aftermarket swivel outlet?
Thanks for any help. I am learning a lot from TGO.

Thanks for your reply. I think this may be closer, or maybe the swivel type. I appreciate any help.

Do you have a picture of the cracked one? If it's iron you could probably have someone weld it if you can't find one that fits.

Re: Need water outlet help for a crossfire

Mine is not iron, some sort of weak aluminum. I have read other threads that say the Corvette outlet is different, but I am unsure.
I ordered a generic replacement that is supposed to be here Friday, but I'd like to track down an original for it.
