NAPA hose part # 10743 is a U-shaped hose that has a 5/8" diameter on one side with a 3/4" diameter on the other. Remove the hoses at the rear of the lower intake and use this hose to loop one hard line into the other....

Already looked. Didn't see anything on bypass.

I did my black car. Not difficult just time consuming. I think there is a link to step by step direction in my old thread if you can find it.

Hmm. Dosen't seem too time consuming if it is just pulling the two hoses off the firewall and mating them together? Am i missing something?

Sorry I was talking about replacing the heater core. Bypass is simple

Ok. So Is that all there is to bypass? I won't get antifreeze in the car anymore?

vinchez78 · Post by **vinchez78** » Tue Aug 21, 2012 6:08 pm

you'll still get antifreeze

When i first got the car the core was bypassed and i had no problem with antifreeze in the car. Just no heat.

That sucks is it an age thing or mileage? Neither of mine have needed it knock on wood
