Heater hose hook up

[Kmcallahan]

Need some direction. I am booking up my Vintage Air Heater hoses. The two spots I have to hook up to intake manifold is already take by sensors. If I screw in a tee into one of the spots ha e the heater hose hooked to one leg of tee the the sensor screwed into the other leg of tee I am sure that will work but will it interfere with sensor?147880

It will if you use a shut off on one of the heater hoses. Without water travelling through the hose, the sensor wont read correctly when the valve is shut off. Is there another spot on the driver side front for a sensor?

as mike said, look for another bung on the DS of your intake that you can use for one of your sensors. otherwise, you'd need to leave your heater valve cracked at all times to get fluid moving pass the sensor for an accurate reading. you could also set up a bypass valve that constantly allows fluid to run by the sensor, but putting the sensor somewhere else is the easier option.

I have Weiand Stealth intake it only has 3 ports to water course all three are taken one is the EFI sensor, one is the temperature gauge sensor and the other is the fan switch. So I done this147893. What do you guys think?

that might work. it might take your heater core a while to heat up. there is lower flow from the water neck overflow back to the pump, but I suppose once you get engine up to temp and it's pressurized, it should get to your heater core.
