Bypass hose and fitting dilemma

I hit a deer a few years ago in the 67 sweptline on my way to work. The fan cut a nice circle in the radiator. Drove home with a couple of 5 gallon jugs of water to fill up when it got really hot.I had to stop several times!

At home I had a 70 radiator with the outlet on the opposite side, so I had to put a used 70 up water pump on with the 1" nipple. The intake nipple was the smaller one. I was working 12 hour shifts, and it was getting late, so I just wrapped electrical tape around the intake's nipple until the 1" bypass hose fit snuggly, and clamped it down. I drove it to work the next day.

That "temporary fix never did fail even though I really overheated the 318 several times. (The newer style pumps are longer, so there was no room for a fan.)
I drove it daily like that for years, but man it would get hot if Mc Donalds drive through was busy, but i had to have my bacon egg and cheese biscuit!
