old-tank Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 http://forums.aaca.org/f115/55-buick-heater-292376.html ..add up the lengths...Note: the oil cooler hoses on 55 are 78" long instead of 74" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Falabella Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 The hose from the bottom of the radiator to the Def/heater core, rt.side below the dash is two sections on my car. The joint is towards the front of the engine on the inner fender. Is this correct? Or should the be just one length? I see no references in the shop or parts books.

60FlatTop Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 When you remove the old hoses always slice the hose over the tubing connection and "unwrap" it from the tube. That will prevent damage from trying to twist the old hose off.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packick Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) I replaced all of the heater hoses in my 1955 Century and roughly measured about 31-feet of hose. All was 5/8". About 1/2 of my hoses were factory-installed. Scarey! Edited July 23, 2012 by packick (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buick5563 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Use Old Tank's routing and these are the correct lengths: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Falabella Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Printed the diagram and ordered a 50ft roll. Some pretty long hoses on this car.Is underseat heater motor and hose accessible under car or under seat?
