Hey thanks!

That helps right there. It didn't occur to me that there would be a
different one for the manual tranny engine. Guess mine is setup for
extra hoses for tranny cooler on automatic. Hopefully the small outlet
is for 5/8" heater hose.

For sure this engine was from an automatic donor.

Thanks again Pat.

Neil.
