Guys.........
I have no need for my heater in Florida, and want to clean up the engine bay of the unwanted hoses........I'm going to do a simple disconnect and outer plug on the firewall (after blowing out the core), and I want some advice on the Intake/Water Pump connections.........
Would it be better for circulations sake to just connect the water pump to the intake via a short piece of heater hose (VERY simple), OR should I disconnect completely and install plugs at both places?
Common sense would seem to dictate that I'd get a better overall coolant flow by leaving the pump and intake connected as if the heater were operational............BUT, common sense doesn't always rule with old cars (or new ones, for that matter.....).................
What should I do? Does it really matter, and why? :read2:
