1970 LT1 Heater Hose Nipple (To Water Pump)

[James H.]

Can anyone tell me what the proper heater hose nipple is that screws into the water pump, for a 1970 LT1? Is it painted or natural and what is the material and size of the thread?

Better yet, can you recommend who sells it?

Is it the longer one with hex near where the hose goes on then about 1-1/16" of straight pipe before you get to the thread?

Lastly, was there any sealant or pipe tape used to seal it into the water pump?

Any pictures would also be great.

Thanks

Jim

Jim, I believe that most venders sell them, there are only a couple, the one for Air Cond. is different. They where not painted , no sealant.

Yes, the hex is up near the hose and then 1" +/- straight - then threads - NOT PAINTED.
