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

[Tom Green]

I would include the heater control valve in all these deteriorating
parts as well.  I am keeping a thermostat gooseneck fitting to replace
that with next thermostat.  I have seen 2 leaking ones recently.

The o ring Baloney left in the block is N 900 351 03.  :-)

I assume you meant diluted coolant when referring to the 7 liters,
Manny.  I would call it coolant rather than Pentosin, since the
brand name is more commonly associated with the hydraulic
fluid.
