I'm trying to find this brass connector that connects from my exhaust manifold to the closed cooling hose on my Mercruiser 5.7. It's a 1" OD barb type fitting with a 45 degree bend to a 1" NPT, I've tried looking everywhere and can't find it, anyone know where I could find one?

I think the threaded part is 3/4" NPT (NPT threaded pipe is measured by inside diameter). Not sure that will help you find the part.

O, ok, so 3/4" NPT male to 1" OD or should I be measuring that other side using ID as well? the ID looks to be 7/8"

Though not your exact designed match as yours may be an aftermarket CC kit, the 2 following are what Mercruiser seemed to have used both older and newer year models with their kits.

An older merc part number was 22-92499T,

While the newer part number for newer engines seems to be 22-865159 Fitting 45°,

Hoses would also be measured by their inner diameter, so the 1" OD of the fitting goes into a 1" ID hose.
