Looking for info on eleminating heater tubes along intake & what to do with temp senser. Thanks

General karthief · Dec 15, 2020

Why are you eliminating it?
If you are getting rid of it you may be able to adapt the sensor into the lower intake where the tube nipple went.

I was thinking the same thing,was just wondering if someone has allready done it & had parts needed info. I am removing heater box assembley,someone allready removed evaporator & all a/c lines.

Street/ strip cruise with wife in season

I did that last winter using this:

Derale 98452 1/2" Male x 3/8" Female NPT Reducer Bushings

Thanks for info on reducer fitting size,any idea what that temp senser input is for ?

Cheapskate207 · Dec 16, 2020

No prob. It’s the ECT sensor for the computer.

So wife's have a season now?
Glad I ain't married.

Ect does that stand for electrical controlled transmission. Would that still be needed for a 5sp transmission?

It's stands for Engine Coolant Temperature.... the only way you don't need it is if you are converted to carburetor.

Engine Coolant Temperature sensor
Monitors engine temp for the computer so the computer can adjust from cold start (think choke for fuel injection) to operating temp.
Crap, your faster on the keyboard than me

I wonder how lonely you must be at times. My wife season is all year.

I might as well ask what this senser is & its job ? Looks like another temp senser. Maby the General could get this one being he has no wife lol.

That’s the ACT. Air Charge Temperature sensor. Measures the temp of the incoming air

Thanks,I would think air temp would've closer to where air enters intake. Thanks again,Jim

No more wives, in season or not, there is a girl on the other end of the couch that puts up with my crap and still make me cookies!!
Those two sensors talk to the computer and are very important.

It measures the incoming air about as close to the combustion chamber as it can, just as you are about to add fuel.

Coolant temp sensor for the temperature gauge is in same area, a little closer to corner of intake. Its a single wire going into it.

Thanks kruisr

While on the coolant pipe thread, after removal the other heater pipe goes to water pump. What is everyone doing with it plugging it off at pump & do you keep the other hose from pump to thermostat on or plug them to ? Thanks
