Actually......Russ is incorrect!  There I said it...it was hard, but I said it. 8^)

The bell crank is a common part between the dual port and single port engines, as are most of the other pieces of the thermostat/cooling flap system.  The differences between the single port and dual port systems are in the linkage rods.  Both the upper horizontal link and the lower vertical link are different between single and dual port systems.  I have pictures and descriptions on my website (Boy do I really need to update it).  Go here:
