Steam vent in heater hose connection?
I was thinking about hooking the steam vent tube up to the heater hose port on my stock radiator. What do you guys think? It looks like it's even threaded, so I could put a barbed fitting in there. The top one is the trans cooler port. The one below is the one I was thinking about using.

That's the most common place to run it. Here's mine, very top of the pic.

Mine was custom made from a chunk of scrap.
