Outlets of waterpump

[Duco55]

Hi all,
I am building my 263 block into the chassis. On the waterpump are 3 outlets. From my notes, Photos and Books i can not figure out the exact function. I am pretty sure the top two are for the heating, and can be blanked off.
but what is the function of the lower and longer one? And what is the function of the 3 way pipe?
thanks in advance

Without seeing your particular pump, I couldn't say for sure, but some Buick pumps have extra connections for lines that go to the Dynaflow oil cooler. If you have a manual transmission, those connections wouldn't be used.

Thanks Ray, That is probably it. This engine used to have a dynaflow. I replaced it with a manual box ( jag XK). So this probably means that I can blank off this outlet as well. Unless there are other opinions? Met vriendelijke dank, Duco

On mine, I connected the nipples together with a piece of hose. I'm not saying that this is the correct way to do it, but it just seemed easier at the time. Blocking them off would probably look better, though.

The Jag gearbox sounds like a great idea. Would you mind describing how you adapted it to the engine? Do you have any pics of the adaptor?

Hey Duco,
Yes, like Ray said,let us see your (whole ) Project ... where in Holland you come from ? I'm from Bremen, the nearest bigger Hollandtown is Groningen ..

Will make some extra photo's today and post a small collection. I am in Zutphen, some 30 km north of Arnhem. nearest german town is Bocholt. Re the box to engine connection: I first made an adaption plat, but did not trust my own work re line up accuracy. So asked a specialist firm. Told them I had to adapt the axle form the box afterwards to get enough of the splines in the clutch plate. This made them think and afterwards we decided to make a whole new clutch hous out of aluminium. Took them a year ( between jobs) and me lot of money. But I now have a nice set up.The photo's will show that the whole car is a mult year project. I am building the whole thing from scratch, and to my own design with Bentley and lagonda 1930's as basic idea. Lots of fun, trying to master different old techniques. met vriendelijke groeten DucosDSCF1597.jpgDSCF1942.jpgDSCF2034.jpgDSCF2036.jpgDSCF1268.jpgDSCF3942.jpgDSCF3948.jpg
