The heater hoses are 5/8 4 foot long?  did the C500 have a clip to keep them or a bracket?

Are not the heater hoses two different diameters ?

I'm enjoying this thread... Seeing how my former C500 is being resurrected..

Some day it will be a very nice driver!

But not like this....... circa 1980 of your car.... tunnel ram, hole in hood, Superbird wing......... Big tires.....

good stuff

Allen,
Do you have proper valve covers?

T

[41husk]

no

[hemi68charger]

no

What happened to the valve covers that were on it? The ones that were on it where the proper ones. I remember the proper oil filler tube and cap on the driver's side and the hose leading to the air cleaner lid......

[41husk]

Troy, this is what was on the car.  All i did was blast and paint them.

This is what I am confused about.. On page two of this thread you started, there's a picture of someone taking the motor out and the proper valve covers are clearly seen with the proper breather and hose connected to the air cleaner.... Hope no one "took" them.....

[41husk]

Same breather just in the wrong grommet.

[41husk]

looks like I have the covers on the wrong side.

No, you have the later model versions..... 1970 and up.. If you look close at the pictures I posted, there are now wide spark plug wire brackets attached to the valve covers.. The valve covers you have on the car are for something like a '73 or '74 on up...  I think someone switch them out... The valve covers on that motor I have never owned... And I'm fairly confident the valve covers that were on the motor when I traded it to you were the proper ones....  

You know me, Mr. Anal-in-detail..

I hope I'm wrong.....

[41husk]

hmmm  not sure when or were they could have been switched, but I will look around

[hemi68charger]

Should be like these...
