Default 92 LT1 Radiator Bypass Hoses

I can't seem to find those extra bypass hoses that go to the heater core and reserve tank. Napa doesn't carry them and places like Eklers only have the small one. Can you guys help me with part #'s and where I might find them.


Thanks, Motorcycle43

I bought those hoses last year for my '94 at my local Chebby dealer. With my Corvette Club discount, the price was decent, and you can't beat the fit and look of OEM hoses.

Be well,

I just upgraded and used the 96 setup. It bypassed the TB. Cheap mod if you are changing hoses anyway.

What do you mean you bypassed the TB? Is the hose from the water pump to the surge tank necessary? I can't believe it is this hard to find these hoses?

I think the '92 was different than the later LT1 engines for some of those hoses.
The '92 (I'm not sure about the '93) has a different water pump than the later engines.

I got the hoses a little over a year ago, when I did mine at Discount Auto Parts. Don't know if they have a webb site but would think so.

I think that Mid America has some of the hoses but if you call Chris May at Superior Chevrolet in Merriam KS 1-800-728-8267, he will get you any hoses still available at a great price for CF members. Just tell him you're a CF member and you need Corvette parts.
