Steam Ports?
I've got a 91 z28 with a LS1. Im using the stock TPI radiator and still working out the many bugs. What did you guys do with the steam ports from the heads? I have a hose going from the steam ports an inlet on the passenger side of the radiator, toward the top, however the hoses I use leak, and it just isn't sound.
What is the proper way to do this?

Whether it's threaded or not and thread size seems to vary from rad to rad. I've seen smooth, 1/4"NPT and 3/8"NPT
I use a common nipple like posted with some pipe tape on most. On the unthreaded ports I fab a union tee like the JTR link
