Heater Bypass - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**53burb** · 04-16-2005, 02:25 AM

Next weekend I am going to be replacing my engine and radiator. Currently, the heater core is not hooked up. The intake manifold and waterpump outlets are plugged. The radiator I am going to put in has an outlet on it for the heater. If I want to still bypass the heater core, what is the best place to route this to, the intake or waterpump???

Just plug it.

It is not threaded, so I can't plug it. I thought this was a common thing, maybe not.

Just take a piece of hose and plug one end and clamp other end on fitting.

I thought I would do that if nothing else comes up. I guess I could put a bolt in the hose and put a clamp on it. I don't suppose it would hurt anything if I routed it to the waterpump or intake manifold.

Nope-will not hurt anything.
