Heater Hose Nipple for 351 Modified

Hi all;

I am in need of a heater hose nipple for a 1977 F-150 with a 351 modified.

The nipple presses into the block, just behind the water pump.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!!!

Industrial supply houses like McMaster-Carr are great for this stuff. You want to look for a barbed hose fitting. I haven't seen the press-in style, but I know what you're talking about. It shouldn't be too hard to track down. It wouldn't be too hard to have a machine shop tap the hose fitting so that you could install an NPT hose fitting (which are much more common).
