Ok guys picture this in your head cause it sounds confusing. The coolant hose that runs in front of our alternators that goes to the waterpump and has the bleeder valve on it, It has the little T coming off of it so that the hose can run to your throttle body. I have seen some pictures that they T isn't even there anymore. Do they make a replacement or is everyone just cutting theres off and tigging the hole shut?

 

I shoved a bolt (along with some RTV) into what was left of the hose going to the throttle body after I clipped it and put a hose clamp on it. It's still in there and has been holding with no leaks for ~4 years.

I bought a 95-97 heater hose assembly to swap in since it eliminates the stupid T-junction, but the torx bolt holding the assembly to the shock tower is stripped thanks to me not being able to see which size bit I needed to remove it. The assembly is also somewhat expensive (part #10261147, $81 from Dal). You can go that route if you have the money to spare and can actually manage to get the damn bolt out.

 

What exactly is Dal?

 

He is a guy. Get his contact info from shoebox's website.

 

So on 95-97 Firebirds and camaros that T isn't on the coolant hoses?

 

Correct. You can view the different hose configurations on my website.
