If you remove the heater core what do you do with the nipples?

I was just wondering if you need to run a line from thermostat housing to the rear plate or if capping them off would be good enough?

Thanks

The rear plate I capped and have had no issues with so far. As for the nipple on the WP housing that feeds the core,... I welded that shut after removing the nipple. I now have to tap back into it so I can hook them up again now that i live ina winter enviorment rather than Hawaii

So you could cap that one as well. Just keep an eye on the condition of the caps.

I assume this would be the same for all versions of the 13b?

As far as the rear plate goes i think so. As for the WP housing,.. I know that the FC housing uses the radiator as the feed for the heater core, Not sure about the RE version housing. Although I do believe that the FD housing can be fit on most of them in place of the original one.

What engine are you going with, I would guess the RE version yeah?
