mmkay.....

mike, Im looking thru russels site right now, I will track down chevydog in the near future and see what he has to say.

brandon: I checked home depot, and a couple of plumbing/hvac places in town. the second I said anything about 5/16" they said go away ... to answer your question, no Im not adapting the radiator connections too. I am not using the radiators cooler just an external cooler. BUT its the same idea... Say you wanted to hook a 3/8" hose to the cooler on the radiator, thats exactly what Im trying to do. Nobody makes a 5/16" inverted flare (radiator end) to 3/8" hose barb OR "AN" -8 fitting.

I cant believe I stumbled across what Im using right now.. its a 90º adapter that does what Im looking for but the hose barb is short and the thing is kinda cheesey but its getting me by. I definately want to change it still. I found a drawer full of these at napa. they were by themselves, unlabeled, and in a huge cabinet where there was NOTHING else organized so I dont know what they were for. anyways the search continues.........................

I will take pics of what Im trying to do if I get a chance...
