Throttle Plate Heater

Post by Divers »

For you folks that have removed the TPH. What did you use to cap off the 2 lines coming into the heater. I just bought a new metal heater line with the nipple....so spending more money is put.

Well, don't the vacuum caps, they are rather weak.
You could run a hose from on nipple to the other.

Good thought. I was just trying to clean up the engine at the same time.

What is the heater plate suppose to do, stop the butterfly from freezing in cold weather?

I replaced the heater pipe with an early style pipe, and I replaced the T in the heater hose with a Prestone flush T. No capping, less chance for leaks.
