AN fittings -16 vs -20

-20 on my rig Big "D". Smaller would have work fine, but I have a big collection of AN fittings so I used what had on hand. Bigger just seem better to me. I think I still have some -20 fittings out there in the shop, one straight and one 45 degree and probably some hose too. If you want to go big, I can make you a deal on what I have if they will work for you. What Mike has his pipe rack seems to work fine too.

Thanks Doug but I just made a deal with Jon for all his -16 stuff and I just bought a 3 core griffin radiator with the -16 bungs already welded in!!

On to the next project!


Thanks everybody for all of your help

If you don't know what a wacher is then you haven't ever lived in Texas. Haha!!

I was in a hurry and typing on a phone so it is amazing it was the only big mistake.

Funny thing is my AZZ was googling that word!! I never thought it was a mistake...LMAO!

D, I just use the thermostat with the center clipped out. I just use a side cutter and clip out the tie bars holding the center part in it. Seems to work like a charm. Ole Doug turned me on to that deal. When we start racing sometimes we really do some serious hot lapping and I've never had a temp problem. The radiator is relocated to the rear also and the only air flow it has is from a couple of electric fans.

Thanks Rob, I have a few of them laying around in the garage, I'm going to do that...

I've got -16 on my car, no issues.
