Its called a coolant union. I had to replace the one in my 82.

I believe its a 22mm. I had to take the right front wheel off, fender liner, and cut one side of the pipes off to get the socket to fit well enough to take it out.

I had to get it from Nissan. I think its was 20-30 bucks. Took about a week to come in.

Like I was telling you, I had to cut off one side of the 'arms' and get to it from the fender. It took me about two hours of fighting it. If it wasnt attached to the manifold I would have just Hulked it off.
