Heater hose connector

[86 1/2 Brutus]

I'm getting ready to change the thermostat in Brutus.  I decided to go ahead and get a new thromostat housing as well.  I want to get the piece where the heater hoses connect to the engine as well but dont know what that part is called.  Any idea of what it is called?

It has to be, because the only other connection is at the water pump.

Yes, what is it called

I'll have to swear you to secrecy as that is a special part with a very unknown name - an "elbow".  Go to Documentation/Cooling Systems/Elbows to find the skinny on them.

The elbows i see that look sort of what i have, dont have a part number with them.  It's not a very good pic, but this is what i'm dealing with

In that case I think you'll have to make one from hose barbs and pipe fittings from the hardware store.

I think i found it.  I looked on amazon and then went back to the pics of the elbows and it is number 14, or at least thats what it looks like
