Topic: 1970 351 Windsor heater tube availability?

[razrbak]

Evening,

Car is a 1970 Mach 1, 351W-2v.  Built at Dearborn on 09/24/69.  I'm looking for the heater tube that ran between the carb and valve cover.  The car originally had one on it, but during the restoration, it has been lost.  I don't see any reproductions available (only see them for the Cleveland, though I'm not sure what all would be the difference) and I haven't spotted any on Ebay.  Does anyone see these come up anywhere?  Any other ideas on where to find one?  Thanks.

Was this part original to the car for the Windsors?  I can't find a good pic online that shows it.  My Osborne Electrical manual (oddly enough) shows what looks like a metal tube there, but it's hard to see.

A part that was quickly thrown away first time the heater hoses got replaced or it rusted out. Real hard to get a "good" picture since the air cleaner and other tings get in the way


Couple of examples - early and late. They were used and there

Would guess NOS or good used is going to be your only source

Thanks Jeff!  Glad to know I'm not totally insane.. (as long as you don't count putting wwaaaayyyy more money into my 70 than it will ever be worth)..  I'll use all hose for now until I can find a replacement.
