heater hose routing 1968 Chrysler

[GOLDMYN]

Hi, I'm looking for a couple of pix, heater hose routing on 68 Chrysler with AC, I've seen a couple of different example. thanks for the time. mike

By observation, there is not one specific routing, but one which is generally accepted, with variations as to model year and the particular engine option. The FSM details this very well.

Enjoy!

Looks about right. I would shorten the hose on the valve cover so it is not above the exhaust manifold. Make it stay more over the valve cover from leaving the from bracket on the alternator.

FSM is NOT clear, if it was I wouldn't have asked, FSM show tubes beside, rather up and down, if that makes sense, 413, I will look at that. thanks

The Saga of the Ugly Duckling

I adjusted the adjusters out a lot and bleed the brakes just to be sure. Seems to have been the problem. Thanks guys. We have a dirt lane that goes back our property to a couple of neighbors. I drove it back the lane a couple of times. That felt good, more than moving it around the driveway.

Post #58 is how our '66 383 2bbl and my '67 Newport 383 4bbl were when new.

after inspecting mine, I have the outboard hose mixed, top should be bottom and vise/versa, some how the "inspector" miss that.

I believe Vans Auto sells the band that retains the heater hoses to the valve cover. There is an a/c and non a/c application. That will give it a nice factory look.

Don't like my " zip tie moment" LOL

Mine are currently zip tied also. After 55 years the aluminum strap finally broke. I'll have to pick up a new one at Carlisle.
