its on the tip of my tongue but i can't think of the name. i have replaced it on my old '89 like 6 years ago but forgot the name for the T coming off the coolant bottle...

It's just a coolant tee fitting.

Make a new one from copper, it will last longer. The OEM ones are mild steel, and you probably can't even get them anymore.

The hose there is a 5/8" ID, and 1/2" copper tube fits neatly into that hose. How are you with a torch and solder?
 
im good i used to be a plumber straight out of high school, thats a good idea!! thanks! should be a lot cheaper then the actual part. got the fittings laying around actualy.

man i was'nt even thinking about going that way, duh!!
 
I didn't "used to be a plumber" - in fact, I hate plumbing! Which probably makes me all the better at it (if I don't want to do it the first time, I certainly won't want to do it again...)

Thus, I came up with something like this in a hurry - http://www.geocities.com/JeepI6Power/img/cuhtrhse.jpg (it's the full-size pic.) I need to refine it one of these days, but for a half-hour hurry-up job, it wasn't bad.
