In response to question 2, you can get AN hose fitting reducers from Earl’s Performance
Products that should do what you want. The fittings are available from a lot of
places on the web, such as: http://www.chassisshop.com/catalog.htm (look for the Earl’s Plumbing
catalog approximately mid-way down the page on the left). Page 17 of the catalog has a conversion
chart from hose sizes in inches (such as 5/8”) to AN
sizes (such as 10).
I order my fittings from anplumbing.com. http://www.anplumbing.com/shop/index.php?

Plumbing Questions...
I have two plumbing questions (for now
:) )
1. Can I
put a plug in hole on top of the engine at the front? I believe Tracy has
put an elbow fitting on his and then run 3/8ths inch hose to the high point on
the water pump "tower" (for lack of a better term). I'm not
sure if this is required to help "burp" the system of air or not but
the prior builder flew it with a water temp / pressure sender in the hole so it
is tapped already.
2. Is there
a good way to reduce the 5/8ths inch hose that will be required to exit out the
bottom of my Volvo coolant pressure tank to the 3/8ths inch size that is coming
out of the high point of my system (at the cap on water pump housing? I
have spend quite a bit of time "on-line" searching for something to
use and haven't been able to discover a suitable fitting yet.
Finishing bathroom remodeling but
dreaming of FWF progress!
