Need to know...

.....If anybody knows where I can buy a new coolant pipe - the one that the heater core bypass hose connects to under the throttle body. Would rather have a new part if I can find it, but I can't seem to find one anywhere.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

If you know the part number.  Try Greensales.  Just a suggestion?

May just have to get a "good" used one.

You're the man. I've searched all over for a (new) one, other than Late model resto I came up with nil. This blows.

Half inch pipe fitting with a 90 bend, and some heater hose.

I have a good used one for you.  Do you need any of the heater hoses, throttle body hoses or the temp sensor?  I can do $30 shipped with the temp sensor, heater core hoses and throttle body hoses.  Let me know.  Thanks!

Anybody have any pointers on how to remove the coolant tubes? I have already pulled the upper intake completely off, (I know, I probably didn't need to, but while the car is out of commission I figured I could do some cleaning and painting) I removed all of the heater hoses that were connected, loosened the bolt that holds the welded bracket down, and moved some wiring and hoses out of the way. I can't figure out how to get the lower tube out, where it has that big nut on the frontside of the tube. Any ideas?

Lots of penetrating oil (and I mean LOTS and LOTS) and put a wrench on the lower hex part and take it out :)

That's what I figured, but it just wouldn't budge. Not going to worry about it now, found the real problem. Coolant tubes are O.K, bypass hose is good. The small hose coming off of  the TB is the one that is leaking, which explains a lot, as the pinhole is right there at elevation with the heater bypass hose.

Oh, it only takes about 10 minutes to get off..... It's getting all the stuff back on  that takes some time. And buying new gaskets, that sucks too.
