Anybody know where I can get some J-tubes for a 71 sqbk, My other question is what happens to the aluminum hose that's conected to the heater boxes. Reason I'm asking is because once I remove the heater boxes the hoses can't be connected to the J-Tubes so what shall they hook up to :!: . Any info is greatly appreciated.

Remove the heater hoses and plug the holes with a drain stopper. Get a pair of those expandable rubber plugs from your local hardware store.

OR the welfare way(I did this)unplug the heater tube and stick a rattle paint can lid on them and clamp it tight...use black or gray lids it will match better than a bright color...

Rattle can lids worked well for me too. :oops:

Make sure you plug these holes up tho otherwise you'll be starving the engine of valuble cooling air.
