Yea that is a betetr idea. haha I had to mess with line alot to get it to not pinch. And im pretty sure on those measurements but not positive. If its just so you can get it home then im sure it will work long enough for you. But it would be best to get the measurements exact

I tied a set of hoses together with a deep socket that was laying behind the seat one time on one of my early 80's F-150's, way back when me was just a noobie. My Father gave me a disturbing look when I told him what I had done. I drove around for probably 8 months before I changed the heater core out in the truck.
I used 2 elbows to bypass the heater core. I went straight from the waterpump to the intake. Ill see if I can get a pic of the total hackjob hoses I got along with some measurements.

That was my thought but since I couldn't figure out where Slo5oh was talking about putting a union I thought I'd keep my mouth shut and learn something. But the more I read it wasn't a union he was talking about it was a plastic 90 degree elbow or coupling that he wanted to insert between the 2 hoses, and with that said I don't think it's a 1" ID to a 3/4" ID is correct , I'm more inclined to think the 3/4" X 5/8" ID is more correct.
