I know this is pretty boring stuff.

But I was asked where to tap the filler neck for the nipple and pics were requested.

So if i post it, next time someone askes I can link them here.



Here ya go Marc.



Run the line form the overflow to the new nipple and then the one from the front nipple is small radiator hose. Get a 13 psi cap, and toss the stock one.

Thats all. Make sure to run the threads out good with a tap after drilling the hole. Make sure you do not drill in the filer neck with it still on the car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

We wouldn't want metal shavings in the coolant system. And use RTV when tightening the nipple in so that it seals really good. Let it dry for maybe 30 min before adding coolant. Enjoy.

THe front one goews to the radiator the one on the side goes to the overflow tank.

damm i gotta redo mine, cuz the "shop" who did it for me just blocked off that front line with a bolt and clamp and one to where the other fitting was from the ast... this seems bad..



ill run that front radiator line to the other end that was capped off then

just curious as to why not just use a 2nd gen part instead of all that *trouble* (if you wnat to call it that) nipple is already there... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Or you can do that. I had a nipple available and it is was easier for me to drill a hole and runa tap through it then to order the part and waiy for it.
