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

[manuelsanchez at starpower.net]

Wayne,

While I've already replaced everything, I am going to replace
the one coming out of the block as you describe ASAP.

Wouldn't happen to have a part number for it would you?

I suppose I should probably be looking into a new fuel pump
while I'm at it.

(must have kept 2 liters in her somehow after the failure)

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.
