What kind of sealant was used on the heater hose fitting?


I use the indian head shellac stuff.

Some of these details are illustrated and visible in the other sections of the site. In particular those areas with factory or period pictures of the car and engine assembly. One such example would be found in the - The Assembly Line - Discussions related to assembly line practices and observations - Members Only Viewing ? Sub-Assembly & Supply Plants

Thread title is - Early Small Block Product Test Pictures
Thread titled - 64 Cleveland Engine Plant V8 Oil Pressure Test Might help some though the pictures are not as nice or from as many angles

You also have evidence of a mask of sorts over the heater hose nipple at the water pump to go along with the other hose nipples and necks that were unpainted to help the hoses seal to the items

Thanks Jeff. I remembered seeing those photos here in the past, but dang if I could remember where.

Yes the down side of having allot of reference material posted and available but would rather have that than not have stuff posted and shared :)

Also the downside of getting old and not being able to remember things!
