10/21 - "Nipples, Clamps, and...Hoses"
I promise this is a post about the K/5
Spent some time this past weekend taking care of some loose (hose) ends in the engine bay.
Started off draining the radiator, popping the top hose off and unbolting the mounts so i could lean it forward and install to the battery tray bolts that are right next to the radiator. Then I got to work on the evap system hoses, and heater hoses.
I think everything came out pretty clean and i'm happy with the hose routing. I routed the evap PCV and timed vacuum lines back behind the heater then behind the fender to the corner where the evap can is.
Got the brake booster line ran to a 90* rear manifold fitting, plugged the rear carb fitting. the 90 allowed me to use a shorter booster hose and the elbow pointed it right over towards the booster so you dont have a long snaking hose.
And then I also swapped on a new grill bowtie and got the headlights installed
