Then I used a universal flex radiator hose with a 90 on the end to connect to the motor.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">&nbsp;<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-masonry-gallery\"><div class=\"vce-image-masonry-gallery-wrapper vce vce-image-masonry-gallery--gap-10 vce-image-masonry-gallery--columns-2\" id=\"el-2516dd29\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-2516dd29\"><div class=\"vce-image-masonry-gallery-list\"><div class=\"vce-image-masonry-gallery-column\"><a href=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/18.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-2516dd29\" class=\"vce-image-masonry-gallery-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-masonry-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/18.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-masonry-gallery-column\"><a href=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/15-scaled-1.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-2516dd29\" class=\"vce-image-masonry-gallery-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-masonry-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/15-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-6c5acc0f\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-6c5acc0f\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-f07441a8\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-f07441a8\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-f07441a8\"><div class=\"vce-text-block\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-16b86487\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-16b86487\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The lower outlet was also not going to work due to my turbo hot pipes.
