He is what I'm thinking of doing
This is a aluminum 1"NPT 90* elbow. It cost $7. at Princess Auto which is like or may even be a Canadian division of Harbor Freight. They sell a lot of the same stuff. This made for a diesel refueling station or on-site fuel transfer set up. http://www.princessauto.com/en/b/all-seaso...=15&Nrpp=15 Attached image(s)

The 1st pic is a size comparison.
2nd pic is how it would look welded on the cooler. This would give me 1"NPT female connector. Attached image(s)

Another option would be to put it on the other way.
This would in fact, once the tube is cut down, will slip over the cooler tube and give me a 1"NPT male connector. Attached image(s)

I'm working on modifying my cooler now, I've got it setup to clear the valve cover, but not sure about the clearance to the suspension, don't have my engine ready to go in the car yet.
Anyone have a modified cooler in a car they could take a picture or measure the distance from the cooler to the suspension. Thanks |

QUOTE(McMark @ Mar 11 2015, 08:29 PM)  They were fine, I think I got the centerline of the AN fitting setup a little past the end of the cooler, just wanted to verify if it will have clearance to the suspension, or if I need to change it before I get it welded. |

With a 90 tucked close to the cooler you should not have any clearance issues.
Remember you can steer/ aim the 90 pretty much in any configuration. Up, down, forward, aft. Add a second 90 or two 45s and you will have a very maneuverable Snuffleupagus to put it just about any direction you can imagine. |

Looks good. Mount it on the engine and make sure the cover comes off without hitting. |
