I wanted to get a heads up on my upcoming hose work.



I only know of 5 hoses I have seen so far.



2 radiator hoses

1 smaller hose off the lower radiator spout

2 heater hose at firewall



But I also got these 2 small hoses also probably for throttle body?? I dont know how to tell if I have the hoses bypassed as it sits. If its already bypassed with a fresher hose I probably won't touch it. The only hose I can see goes from back of water pump, under manifold, and then into the side of the throttle body. I dont think either of my 2 tiny hoses are long enough to duplicate that path?

 

the 2 little hoses, n304-20-208? and 209? one comes up from the top right rear of the motor to the tb, and then the other goes on the bottom of the tb to the back of the water pump.

 

thanks!

 

ya these two.



13-208A-N304 HOSE WATER 84-85 13B $18.79 $18.79

13-2090-N304 HOSE WATER 84-85 13B $15.73 $15.73

 

yep. short one comes up from the top rear of the motor, long one comes from the rear of watering pump



white dots go up!

 

those were a BITCH... I never want to do those again.. now i need to order a radiator..

 

so today i did the water hoses sort of. I did the 4 hard ones in rear so far. 2 heater and 2 manifold. I also installed a new thermostat. I also removed my radiator for replacement. The drain **** was broken off, and it was wet also, so I just want to replace it while I have it out to make sure. Since the draincock had no seal, it was slowly dripping also. I also did my OMP o-rings and copper seals. I hope it fixes some sort of leak I may have had.



As soon as my radiator comes in I can reassemble everything and start driving it a bit. I'm sure my oil pan still leaks, but my OMP was caked thick, could have been mostly from there.



I dont enjoy this part of it.. I dont enjoy working on greasy engines getting filthy and bloody. What I will enjoy is cruising it after this work. I pray to god I dont have some new problem pop up after all this work. I just want to drive it a few weeks with no worries.
