Well I need to head out to the garage. This afternoon I did a "parts run". I
think I have the parts to make the lower hose work. Basically a hose with a 90'
angle one end is 1.5 inches diameter, the other is 1.25 inches diameter.
Another hose, 1.5 inches on both ends, not quite a 45, it mates up about the
same angle as the buick 300 water pump. And of course a pipe to connect the
two. I ended up with a short copper tube for the pipe.
We'll see.
