    Like docdrs said above.

    I believe this is the nipple I used but it would be best to double check your size, there are a few sizes and angles available.

    I tapped mine how the SkiDim guys told me to do it and it backed up what the instructions said however, after my issues last year the tap is now the first thing out of the raw water pump before any of that water gets to the thermostat housing.

    The other thing I did was honed out the inside diameter of the pass through for the tap as it does not need to be that thick in my opinion, you are not going to really torque down a rubber hose with a hose clamp tight enough to where thinning it out will now allow it to crush. This removed some of the restriction to the water flow I found after installing it.

    I'm not sure if the 351w boats are different, but on a 454 Supra the trans cooler is on the suction side of the pump. You want to tap somewhere on teh pressurized side of the raw water pump.
