1973 Heater Hose Routing
This seems like it should be so easy. I've checked the AIM and tried to look for pictures, but couldn't find a great picture. Does the heater hose attached to the top of the intake manifold go on top or under the carburetor supply line. When I route it under the carb line it pinches the hose. When I route it over the carb line it is a very tight fit between the AIR pump and carb line. How isyour 73 heater hose routed? L48, Manual, non-a/c,. Thanks, Dean

Purchase an elbow fitting for the manifold. You can then route the hose between the front of the valve cover and the water pump. A cheap elbow can be purchased from Home Depot. Look in the plumbing dept. and purchase a 1/2" "street elbow" - about $3. It has a male thread on one end and a female on the other. File down the manufacturing marks, lettering and ridges and paint it the color of the manifold. Or, you can purchase a chrome one for about $40.00.
