When the bearings in the waterpump wear out they will spin inside their casing causing the coolant to pour out of the wheep hole onto the opti, with a tube it wont directly hit the opti and you will be able to see if the WP is bad. I just didnt want to risk killing my opti if I am going to pay $200 for a new one.

Looks like it will work just fine. I got a fitting for mine about 3 years ago. I was gonna tap it and thread it in. 1/4-20, with a 1/4" nipple for the hose. But I still have'nt done it. Someday I'll get to it. It's something all of us 93/94 guys should do.
