I believe they are 1/4". I ran mine the the port on the radiator. I used a Camaro radiator in my 93 Mustang. Some have drilled and tapped the top of the water pump.

Actually looking for what hose you are using. I am going to use hard line between ports but need something flexible for the tie in to the radiator.
