Buick35 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I just got a rebuilt water pump along with a new lower radiator hose with the Buick script on it.Since I'm in Florida and never use my heater should I still splice in the original heater hose pipe in the lower radiator hose or replace the lower hose in one piece? Would it matter in showing? I think the long heater hoses distract from the looks of the engine but that's just me. Thanks,Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Might be worth a one-point deduction in national BCA judging if the judges are sharp-eyed, but no more than that. How often are you going to have it judged at an AACA or BCA national meet? The other thing is, do you ever plan to sell the car someday to someone in a colder climate?

Buick35 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Good points,I think I'll use the one piece rubber hose and hang onto the metal pipe with the heater hose fitting on it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
