    Rolleyes X-flow water pump connector

    I need some help!

    I've got a water pump on my crossflow but there is no union in the top to marry the water pump to the heater pipe. I ordered what I thought would fit from Burton as it was the only thing remotely similar looking on the site (link below) but it is too big.

    Has anyone got a clue of the size of this and where to buy one?

    Thanks!

    3/8"NPT is the size for the XFlow waterpump.
    I use the Burton FP379 (angled outlet).

    The pump connector is suppose to already be a 3/8 npt union that gaz has been supplied from BLurton and it won't fit.

    So someone has to measure the hole, measure the thread pitch and work out what is actually needed...........or buy a new water pump that hasn't been molested!

    Can you post a photo of the union next to the waterpump?
    Is the union too big (NPT is a tight fit) or is the pillar too big for the hose?

    I went to a DIY store and bought some copper/bras item once … they had never seen a water pump of a '70 car …
