ecbJag,

Thank you you for that awesome pic. I’m going to have a fun time removing that crossover tube to replace all three rubber tubes. It needs to be cleaned up and painted also, so I guess this is where I begin my restoration work... not really. Just want it fixed properly.

I've done that job recently, please for god sake have your drink of choice ready, you will need it. It fits...but it doesn't...but then one final alcohol induced shove it'll go back together.

Very much a Saturday afternoon job.

It was not too terrible! After repainting the crossover tube I lubed up the short end hoses and once in position slid them on. Worked great!

Change all the coolant hoses you can find (there are 14 in all) as they will all be going home soon
