I have a EFI but I guess you could buy one of those thermostats with the sensor that can send a ground to a relay you can buy them from jegs or summit racing. they have different temps so you get the one you need, the local napa store might have them also... good luck

I would replace it with another stocker since that is what you are already set up for.
Painless makes a thermostat switch that threads into the stock head. Unfortunately they only sell it as a kit with a relay and wire. I have yet to find a source of metric thread temp switches, so if you want to go that way you need to turn down a 3/8 NPT one and rethread to fit.
Another option is splicing a fitting into a hose to fit a standard 3/8 or 1/2 thread switch.
I have an adjustable fan switch that works off a probe in the radiator fins. Think it was $40 from Jegs. Generally not the best solution but a bit of plumbers dope on the probe to shield it from the wind has it working fine.
