Heater Removed ????Hard lines on Intake ?????

[Yobi1Kanobi]

Living in Florida I never use my heater. And since I set the motor back an inch with my tall fabbed VCs the heater core tubes of the firewall were in the way.

So can I remove the hard lines and just connect the sensor. But then agian the sensor wont just screw in will it?

Yeah you can remove the lines. You'll just need a brass reducer to fit the ECT into the lower intake. I can't remember the thread sizes but I think if you do search you'll find the reducer size.

Yeah, it can be done. i did it to my car and it really cleans up the look.

It's for the ECT. The one in the picture is the sender for the temp gauge.
