How to Convert Your Cooling System to AN

STEP 1:

MEASURE YOUR RADIATOR / PUMP'S O.D.

Use calipers or a micrometer

Measure BEHIND the raised bead

NOTE: If your size is not listed on our website, a radiator water neck can be reduced in size approximately .040" and most water pumps can be reduced in size .050" or more. A file and emery cloth works well to reduce the size, but the method is up to you. Reduce it between the bead and radiator/pump. Adapters can also be installed on water necks that are up to .015" under the listed size.

STEP 2:

DOWNLOAD AND PRINT THE ADAPTER TEMPLATES

Find the adapter template for your measurement here

Transfer the templates to poster board for a stiffer template.

DO NOT use the templates to determine the O.D size to order.

STEP 3:

DOWNLOAD AND PRINT THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING TEMPLATES

Find the thermostat housing template for your brand here

Print a straight, 45°, or 90° depending on which is best for your application.

NOTE: Any angle hose end can be connected directly to a straight thermostat housing if that better suits your application. AutoPlumb AN Adapters can be used on your stock thermostat housing if we do not have a housing for your brand.

STEP 4:

DOWNLOAD AND PRINT THE HOSE END TEMPLATES

Find the hose end templates here

Start by printing which angles you think will work, then proceed to Step 5.

STEP 5:

DETERMINE YOUR HOSE END ANGLES

Mix and match the various angles until you get the ends to align.

Take your time on this step, it is crucial for assembly.

While the hose does bend (refer to the hose radius template), do not rely on the hose to make a bend for you.

STEP 6:

MEASURE YOUR HOSE LENGTH

Measure the distance between the hose end templates.

This measurement is an estimation, always give yourself extra hose in case of errors or if a bend is needed.

Taping the templates and/or having assistance makes this step easier.

This is along time coming

This is along time coming. I have a 668 bbc in 1969 camaro 1420 horsepower and every line is an fittings and hose then you look at radiator lines and just takes away from the whole them. Awesome when i get them done I will send pics. We pressed for time because cruzin the coast in south Mississippi is oct. 4th through 11th
There will be over 35,000 old classic cars riding up and down hwy 90 along the coastline.

Hi Gregory, we're thrilled to hear you're excited about your project! Can't wait to see the photos once it's all set up. Sounds like a ride my wife and I would love to be taking with you in our 1960 Chevy Impala! Wishing you a successful cruise and enjoy the coast!

Best Regards,
Joe
