awesome thanks bliffle and Scott! i got the plastic Tee on there now i ll flush the water and fill with water wetter mostly likely. i think all but one wire hose clamp has been changed and i got some laying around so thats most likely going to happen on my lunch break tomorrow or something. i do need to get 2 new hoses for the heater core bc i icut the short one off the goes from the fire wall to the radiator and im going to replace the other just because. other than that all should be good with the cooling system! now i can get it ready to smog!!!!!
