Al righty then, we have a little problem with the "red" car. You will be glad to know the engine swap in the malibu is well and the wife has been driving it. Can't find the leak in the ac so I'm kinda thinking it is the compressor itself. Not sure but the dye stuff seems to be all over it in spots so I'm not sure. Had it blowing cold a few nights ago but by the next afternoon we had lost pressure. Crazy.
Anyway. The new to me water pump housing on the red car came without a nipple for the heater hose. I didn't even notice until o went to hook that hose up. It was suggested that I hit the wrecking yard and see i I could find a piece that goes inline with the radiator hose with a nipple on it. I night a couple of those when doing the Malibu (gotta find em now) so I thought I could do that. I got a 1/2"npt x 3/4" barb 90* fitting ordered. I have a 1/2"npt tap. So I need to drill the hole. I have a 23/32" bit but the engineers handbook calls for a 45/64" hole. Is this going to pose a problem if I make the hole a 1/64" too big? I thought not as the bit is like $15 and I already have the bigger one.
Your thoughts?
Thanks for the input.
