93 LT1 upper rad hose tee fitting
Hi all,
My '93 developed a leak in the throttle to tee coolant hose and I'm looking to replace the tee fitting while I'm at it since it's rusted and bound to break someday soon. I know this is a great chance to ditch the bypass altogether and switch to the 95 coolant system but I don't want to do that right now.
I found the hose I need and clamps through rock auto, which is just a short drive from me, and was hoping to get the tee fitting there too. This is the closest I could find that looks like what I need, but I don't know if it will fit the sizes of the hoses going to the tee. Any thoughts or help? https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...1308156&pt=262
And if that doesn't work, I found this one too which I could order but I was hoping to get this repair done rather quick and therefore was trying to avoid shipping parts out. https://corvetteparts.com/item/fitti...gine-1992-1994

That is so typical. That eyesore. Just shy of pot metal just waiting to deteriorate. I eliminate mine almost day 1 my F-body 3rd gen goodyear silicone upper hose fit very well. Eliminating purchasing a proprietary 2 piece rad hose.
Next. Eliminate that nonsense coolant heating the IAC. Leaves a presentable appearance. Best of all no unscheduled disassembly reducing your drive time.
I have never experienced my Tbody sticking or freezing. Very few drive in the winter.
May the torque be with you!
