tanda62 Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Got my heater box installed with a new core, hoses and valve. Amazing how much dirt and grime accumulated inside the box, took several cleanings to get everything. Making progress... Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avanti1963! Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Tom, your posts are very helpful and informative. Does that heater hose have a molded in 90 degree bend in it? Where did you get them? Any part number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanda62 Posted November 20 Author Report Share Posted November 20 Thank you for the kind words. The hoses did come with a molded 90 degree bend. I got them from Avanti Parts, here is a link - https://avantiparts.biz/heater-hose-set-avanti/. Bob is great to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodjo Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 In my 1969 Avanti, that bend is in the valve itself. Is your valve and routing a older solution? Or should the bend be located after the valve in your setup? Just asking, looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanda62 Posted November 21 Author Report Share Posted November 21 The valve you are using is the original style. The one I am using does not have a bend as you pointed out so I am using the molded bend in the hose to get to the engine compartment. Check out the tech article from Dan Booth, it does a nice job explaining the valve I am using. Yours looks nice and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
