The heating system picks up fresh air from the front of the car. The air moves through the blower motor, which is mounted on the right front wheel house, to the heater coil located under the dash and is distributed on both sides of the car under the dash.
The new hoses, which are readily available from Moss Motors (mossmotors.com), are connected to the heater box and blower with the correct wire hose clamps.
There is also a fresh air hose located on the driver's side of the car. This line is not routed through the heater coil, so the air temperature is almost the same as the temperature outside. It can be opened and closed at will. This system is far from air conditioning, but it is better than nothing.
The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December. Please direct comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.
More tomorrow...
