Pre-heater hose question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Joachim · 05-31-2003, 12:15 PM

I'm driving a 68 C10/250/L6. On top of the exhaust manifold is a small square plate with about 1.5 inch hole in it. This is supposed to be where the preheater hose connects, with the other end connected to the air breather horn. I'm using an aftermarket "flex hose". Is there supposed to be some sort of flange associated with the plate to which the hose is slipped over, or was the original hose slotted some how and "popped" in place?

Any suggestions for a work around?

Thanks in advance,
Joe
