[s-cars] Help with the Evil T shaped coolant connector

It sounds like a few people are replacing this connector.  I didn't see any 
mention of the outlet connector on the back of the block, so as a friendly 
heads-up: If the T-connector has failed and the plastic outlet connector on 
the back of the block is the same age, its failure won't be far behind.  It 
makes sense to replace them both at the same time because they're in the 
same hose, you've already lost the coolant, neither one is very expensive, 
and they're both fairly easy to replace.

When I bought my T-connector from SJM, Scott talked me into doing both. 
Upon removal, I found that the fitting on the block was already half 
disinegrated.
