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?

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.
