    1954 Corvette water pump fitting source?

    I was trying to get final hoses hooked up and two CORBIN clamps won't hook up as there is no room, so I need the silver looking fitting that extends out from water pump and let's the clamps fit. I can't find one at corvette central or the normal outlets.
    anyine have a source on those?

    Here is a picture showing the part I'm looking for from a Chris Sherman resto.. (stunning!)

    I would try David Sokolowski at (310) 329-5334. If Dave doesn't have it I would be surprised. Good luck, by the way the picture of your engine
    is great.

      That photo is from a Chris Sherman restoration. He and Brett Henderson have been a huge help to me. Here is mine!

          Very nice 54 pictures. Question is the chrome valve cover correct? My 54 has a chrome valve cover and I was not sure if that is correct or after market.

            There was a certain range or cars that had chrome valve covers. My 54 was chrome.

            Early cars were blue, then they went to chrome, and if I'm not mistaken, I think they went back to blue again.

                My car is #2734 and my belief is the chrome was available according to JM

                  If you have a local old car junk yard that part is easy to find. Hundreds of thousands of 6 cyl GM cars have that part of similar.
