[Roadsters] heater core hose

[Tim]

iI just moved the heater hoses up some and cushioed them so they don't rub. I will check out their removal next summer as for now I just want to get this car running before winter. 

thanks for the input all.

Hey all, the heater hoses disconnected at the fire wall and the water hose
in a loop from the water pump under the carbs and into the opposite inlet is
how mine has been for years, works fine. At least in Texas that was fine,
looking into hooking it back up here in Indiana as its a wee bit colder.
Later - Stan in Indy

You can remove that without any adverse effects.  That hose warms the
manifold and will help the engine smooth out more quickly in cold weather.
You will have to plug the outlet on the water pump  and the front and rear
inlets on the manifold.  The manifold inlet/outlets are a bugger to get out
of the manifold.  That could be a show stopper for you if they are really
frozen in place.   There is an inlet and outlet hose from the heater core,
you could even connect those together to close that part of the system off.
Have fun, Dewey

is very close to being rubbed trough.
