Help me if y'all can. 1953 Crestline Victoria 239 flathead V8. When I purchased it, the heater hoses in the engine compartment were missing. Apparently, my car has four hoses. Can anyone post or PM me a pic of how to correctly route these little beasts?? Thanking everyone in advance!!!

You should have just two hoses; one going from the heater to the rear center outlet on the right head, the other to a port on the right water pump. The hose going to the head should have a shutoff valve on it at the head. Hope this helps, please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks a BUNCH!!! That helps a lot. The hose that attaches to the front lower area of the engine (passenger side) would then attach to the lower port on the heater box? I'm referring to the hose in the picture that runs under the battery and under the blower motor. Is this correct? Sorry, I just don't want to mess anything up on my car!! Thanks again for all of your help!!

There are actually 3 heater hoses involved. Looking at the pictures again, where you see the two hoses (left and right), the left hose is just a 'loop' to the top inlet on the left side of the blower plenum. The bottom hose on the left side of the plenum goes to the passenger side water pump. Better pictures attached below....

MG, you're the BEST!!! Thanks a lot. I actually scoured the net for pics. Found a bunch, but no clear pics of those elusive hoses. Tons of 53-54 with non flatheads in them. Thanks again!!!! - Steve
