quick help w/ 93 TB bypass

My two hoses won't reach to fit together. With a 93 do I need to add a longer piece of hose.

Anyone that done a 93 please help!
Thanks

just take off the two hoses from the throttle body, discard one and hook the two metal fittings together. If you need a longer one, buy a longer one.

I was going to do that, but the hose that goes into the valve cover(pass side) is bent in a few spots. I don't want to replace it with a straight hose that flaps up everywhere and looks funny.

valve cover? What do you mean? What does that have to do with the TB Coolant Bypass? We're on the same page here right?

Hose that goes into the valve cover? You should not even be messing with that hose. That is not a coolant hose. If you run coolant into there, you are going to ruin your engine.

You take the two coolant hoses going to the lower part of the the throttle body and join those together with a hose barb.

I was only outside looking at it for a couple of minutes when I realized a a giant moran.
You guys didn't waste anytime to jump on that post.
I see what needs to be done now. Pretty simple. Thanks.
