Special note: When replacing the heater return hose. Do yourself a favor and retrofit the older style heater return hose that was used 79 to 80 that ran from the heater core over to the shock tower then back to the water pump. You will have to install the nipple on the drivers side of the waterpump. there should be a pipe plug in the casting hole. cut a small notch in the timing cover to allow for the nipple. Throw away the metal pipe that runs along the side of the block under the exhaust manifold. You can get a preformed return hose for the re-route. Your engine will runa lot cooler because the heat will disapate faster through the rubber hose If you need parts for this fit I have them. This is a much better system than the metal pipe system.
