Back at you and the family Gary!

Just had a thought, how big is the fitting you’re talking about?

The VZ has 2 fittings on the neck one for the recovery system and it has an 8mm ish barb on it the other for the Air Bleed and it’s around 6mm from memory, both factory hoses are formed and have a big end, not sure what PWR put on the VR/S Rads..

I’m guessing there’s a factory hose with ends that look like the GM Fuel fittings, might be worth looking to see if you can buy one, probably has the T built into it for a single hose back to the radiator.

Needs to be above head height if possible to keep any pockets of steam from forming, most times it’ll just add temperature but in extreme cases it’ll promote erosion of the water passages in the head…
