May 23, 200619 yr The steel waterline that runs from the water pump bypass to the heater on my 1986 EA82 has a factory "T" installed with a 5/16" hose that is capped. Where did this line originally go? My other identical 1986 does not have this "T". The second steel heater line on both cars also has a "T" but that one runs under the carb to the thermostat housing.
May 23, 200619 yr Lots of cars have extra coolant tees which are plugged off. I've wondered what to do with mine, perhaps running a line into the cabin for a beverage heater or steering wheel warmer or something
May 24, 200619 yr Author Maybe it's one of those easy-flush fittings? The line is only 5/16". That's way too small for flushing. Someone plugged what looks like the factory molded rubber hose with a 5/16" bolt and hose clamp. I'm sure it's a factory steel line that has an original "T" in it. It's very similar to the other heater steel line that "T's" and then goes to the carburetor and then to the thermostat housing.
