Default Waterpump 90 Degree Brass Fitting.

I have a 64, 327/365 and I am looking for a 90 degree fitting for the waterpump to hose to intake manifold. I have all the parts to put this puppy together except the 90 degree fitting that sits atop the waterpump. I am coming over to your fair county tomorrow (Niagara Falls/ Buffalo, NY) area. Can anyone tell me what the part Decription is and where I can buy it. I can't for the life of me find one here in Ontario and I need one real bad.
Thanks in advance.

Paragon and LICS (Long Island Corvette Supply) have them listed on their website and in their catalog.

DR REBUILD is another source as GUSTO14 stated.

None are in Buffalo, so some travel is required………or let FedEx deliver to your door.

Remember this is a holiday weekend here in the states. Nonetheless try the shop below in the link. Call them first. Easy to get to and not far from the PB or LQ bridges. He carries a small inventory of LIC parts and has a used parts inventory of his own. He just might be able to help you out. If he has what you need but he won't be available when you come over let me know and I'll pick the part up for you next week and mail it to you.

Since the fitting was painted at the Flint engine plant along with the water pump and engine, no one will ever see the differences.

The OEM fitting was cad or zinc plated.

This is a photo of my unmolested original.

Let me look to see what I have. I took mine off, but the engine was not original so it's likely the part is aftermarket. If so, I can send it to you for the cost of shipping and packaging.

Thanks Dennis, I'll check him out. I was there two weeks ago on another matter. I'll stop by tomorrow afternoon and see if he has anything. If he doesn't have the part, I'll order from the Dr.
Thanks for your help.

Nice photo………..thanks for posting.

NCRS Judging Manual indicates originals were either zinc, cadmium, OR cadmium dichromate (yellow cad) plated. Don't think GM really cared about the finished color, since they painted it

Sorry to not respond. Didn't look for it last weekend, but I did wash the Corvette. I set up a reminder to look for it and see what I have. I'll snap a photo and get back to you.

OK, here is what I have. It's not pretty, and I have no idea if it is original. I'm sure with some wire brush it will look better, but not new. Luckily the worst would be hidden by the hose. If you want it, message me with your address and I assume shipping will be a few bucks.

Thanks bcwaller but I already installed one from Napa, Its not original, but it works. I replied a couple a days ago with a picture but it did not download to this site, I guess. Here is the picture again. Thanks again for your help.

No problem. It looks great painted, and is not all pitted like my old one.
