now I see what your talking about.

the top outlet does not look factory. the galvanized pipe coupling mated to the bronze 90 degree nipple just doesn't look right.

as I said last night, my water pump outlet has the side discharge and the same adapter nipple as yours.

I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that the p.o. had that K5 set up to run on propane??

I'd throw a nice bronze pipe plug on the top pump outlet and roll.

by the way, nice GM heater hoses! you need to pick up the original type hose clamps..... Classic Enterprises $20
