Re: PO has me PO'd
Yeah, I just don't know enough about this motor, why not start new and be able to control the situation with proper maintenance

Actually I don't expect to replace much. My engine has only about 15,000 miles on the rebuild. The PO gave me a boat load of paperwork/receipts all for the engine work that had been done. We'll see though. With my luck, it will need a total overhaul.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Main thing is trying to get over sickness for the last three weeks...finally feeling better
After that crossmember, I've just bin staring.... Putting the front of the motor back together, permanently! Gotta figure out a PVC system, Ive got the Offy breather mounted, just have to buy a valve and plumb it into the air cleaner. Work on the exhaust to mount up everything, then it's on to carb, distributor, and radiator Then.... Vroooom, Vrooooom

Re: PO has me PO'd
Here is my current problem, I am done mockup and into final assembly. I want to bring the heater outlet hose into this location, but w/o a cobbled up looking mess. Soooo, I plan to make a W/P outlet tube longer and be able to thread into it a 45 degree 1/2"X5/8" barbed fitting. That alone could be a problem since that is not a standard fitting

Re: PO has me PO'd
Your on the rite track, but I don't believe that the pump is an NPT. I'll have to look at it closer as the threads seem parallel...I knew a plumber would chime inBTW, why do they call them street

You know, I've never checked to see if the threads on a water pump are pipe threads or parallel. I just assumed they were NPT or it would be very hard to keep them from leaking. Hmmm.

I think its a Proforma, but I'll check Here's a pic of the outlet that needs to be longer so I can drill and tap a 1/2" NPT. The outlet from the water pump is 1" NPT

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Tim for the answer...Alum. 1"NPTX2 1/2"nipple(don't go there) with a full coupling. Now I can machine a flat on the factory Proform water pump outlet and drill and tap a 1/2" NPT female to put my hose barb in...again, don't go there, lol
Down the road I will modify this using thin wall pipe and the high pressure 1/2 coupling to eliminate the ugly threads that show Parts were here from Mcmaster-Carr in 1 day, the greatest hardware store you ever want to visit Pics?...OK

Where exactly are you going to machine a flat and drill and tap for the hose barb? Just curious.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Maybe you see something I don't? It is one of the thickest parts of the adapter, at least 1/4", more if drilled on the diagonal. I just ordered another one(1 1/2" instead of the 1 3/4"), so I can get rid of the rubber hose adapter, now it will be strait. LMK what you think, I misplaced my hose barb(craft), but the brass fitting is 1/2" NPT
