Re: radiator heater core port plug solution?

I went to a local radiator shop and had my radiator rebuilt for 70 bucks. Aside from cleaning it out and such I had them put a corvette endcap on there that doesnt have the fittings for the heater core or the internal tranny cooler. It is much cleaner and my turbo fits more betta....

Thanks Boosted.... below is a pic of the water pump on my Sy (red line drawn to plug). Anyone recognize this pump?

Well if it was an edlebrock it would say it on the portion where the lower radiator hose connects to.. plus that aux port pipe plug isn't oem for the edelbrock aluminum pumps from what I remember. Most likely some aftermarket hi flow steel unit

It looks like all the stock replacement pumps that I get from my auto part store. They are marketed by Parts Master here in Calif. They do make 2 that looks the same, but 1 has the hi-flow inpeller in it and both are cast iron.

Pics are out there somewhere. I think I even chronicled the deal here about 4 years ago. The shop I went to had a rather large book that had every end tank imaginable listed and it included pics. I just selected one of the ones he said would work and cha ching. I believe Nolan has gone this route as well.
