Does anyone sell reproduction fittings for the heater hose nipple and by pass hose nipple...70 BB water pump

The originals are tough to get out...haven't tried the heat wrench yet....

Easy way to remove the originals; try heating the fittings using a MAP gas torch (burns a little hotter than regular propane) and hit the fittings with some canning parafin from your favorite local grocery or hardware store. Let the parafin wick itself down the threads, and while they're still hot, use a good 6-point 1/2" drive socket and a breaker bar--they should come out w/o too much fuss.
