[Tigers] Originality: water hoses

[Allan Ballard]

Thanks folks,

The information is very helpful - I think I understand the factory 
configuration  now.

I'm missing the "T" piece on the driver's side and will need to search 
for one, but do have
the passenger side "T" piece.

But for folks who chose the LAT 1 option, was the hose routing modified?

Assuming the factory setup as a starting point, as a practical matter 
when the 2 barrel carb
and intake were removed and the hi-rise intake and 4 barrel carb were 
installed, the hoses that
routed water beneath the 2 barrel carb were no longer needed.

But the "T" pieces have a function in addition to routing water beneath 
the carb.  The hoses
change diameter at either end, and the "T" pieces accommodate the change.

When LAT 1 was installed, were the "T" pieces kept with the unneeded "T" 
capped off?

Or perhaps another hose joiner in place of the "T" fitting was available 
to accommodate the
change in hose diameter, or possibly force was used to stretch hoses 
over the fitting on the big end.

Rgds,
