Water pump Q?

The pipe at the top of the water pump that screws into it and attaches to the coolant line is frozen on my old pump and can't get it off. Where can I find this part? Parts store? Dealership? And what is the correct name for this part? I am having no luck. Thanks for the help.
 
Dealership has it. It was like 20 bucks and it would take them a week when I tried to get it. I just used a brass pipe nipple I got at a hardware store that was long enough for the hose to reach and clamped it with a hose clamp. It threaded right in and I have had no problems in the last year and a half.
 
Use the later one and trim the heater hose back, eliminating the 90* bend in the hose. It will be easier to get to should you ever need to replace the hose anyway.
I've done this on 2 HO into Renix conversions.
