Steve,
Tell you what I did this winter tp my 76B. I took the ZS and
replaced it with dual SU HIF4's.
From the lower radiator hose, I made a 1/2" copper pipe tube with 2 bends
to route it above the SU's
and mounted a support off the head to support it. The length of the tube
runs behind the heat shield almost to the heater and at its end, I
connected it to the heater port with tubing.
Best,
Bill
