Back when I did this, I used a regular barb (i.e. no 1/8 port).
Alternatively, I drilled/tapped a 1/8 NPT hole at the water neck and ran my IACV hose from this location. It ended up working out well, the coolant hose fits/runs under the distributor, above sensors, tucks nicely out of sight:
Should be noted:
Both of these modifications were done with the parts on the bench, before assembly. Wouldn't recommend it on the car.
