[Mgs] clearing the drains in the heater system

[Glenn Schnittke]

Remember, a lot of the parts used on the cars were off the shelf and 
used with other marques. It's the same drainage tube on our '71 XJ6. 
Same diameter and length. The tube really is designed to block ENGINE 
fumes, not just exhaust. The tube is NLA from anywhere, so if it goes 
trashed it can't be replaced. I guess you could replace it with a plain 
tube but be careful of where you terminate the end. And be careful when 
cleaning that you don't trash it. The coathanger gag bent at 45 deg. 
works well but I'd be a little leery of the drill part. Not needed. 
Bending the other end so you can twist it is all you need. If the tube 
looks a little dicey you might substitute a piece of 12 ga. solid core 
electrical wire and leave the insulation on.
