No Heat?

I believe the heater core doesn't have any heater hoses running too it. Where would they be coming from off of the engine?

Drivers side one comes from the block and the passenger side one runs to the hardline by the frame rail, which runs to a rubber line connected to the radiator.

WARNING: If the heater core has been bypassed, that is likely because it leaks. If you hook it up, I'd check it very carefully for leaks before driving somewhere. People don't bypass them for no reason.

The one on the driver's side, is it right below the oil pressure sender? The one on the passenger side runs on the underside of the air filter and up behind the engine just to make sure I'm right?

I figured that it could be. I'm gonna keep a check on it, but I'm hoping it isn't beacause its starting to get cold and it would be nice to be able to drive it comfortably haha.

Yeah in that area...you can't really miss it. Its a nipple maybe 1/2" in diameter. If the heaters been bypassed it will either have a hose coming out of it with a plug on it or be welded shut Or maybe some high temp cap. On the passenger side you can follow the line coming out of the radiator under the outlet for the lower rad hose.

Ok. Thanks. The place to put the hoses on the core is the two nipples coming out of the firewall behind the intake plenum.

Ok. Thanks a lot man. I just know if this thing over heats it will be the end of it. I just want to make sure I get it all right and double check it.
