Subject:Re: what is most correct coolant tower setup for 90 auto?

Paul I would recommend going with an early version of the 2.1l Automatic
setup.  The coolant distributors are all the same price but if you go
with the early version you can eliminate a hose that is expensive and
also probably NLA.  I can supply all of the hoses you need even the ones
that are supposed to be NLA like the large hose that goes over the top
of the transmission.  Just let me know what you need and I will put
together a price list for you.
