In my haste and overconfident of my ability to remember I've forgotten which size heater hose goes between the intake and the evaporator box and which size from the water pump. I believe one is 1/2" and the other is 5/8".
Thanks,
Mitch

5/8” and 3/4”.

Re: HEATER HOSES...
Paul,
I just found an instruction sheet from Edelbrock for my aluminum water pump, they call for the 5/8" hose from the water pump to the heater core. So I guess that makes the 3/4"hose between the intake and the heater core?
Thanks for your quick reply...

Re: HEATER HOSES...
There's only one 3/4" hose to the core; the rest are all 5/8". But, in my memory it comes from the wye--not the intake--which is sized for the two different hoses. Here's a couple old pics during building phase. The wye (Y-pipe) is somewhat visible--you can see the two sizes. I remember modeling this from a concours car I saw at Greenwood, and it agreed with Osborn.
I'm gonna double check tomorrow for you; also, for my own assurance.

Mitch,
Remind me again what model year is your Bird?

Re: HEATER HOSES...
Paul,
Thanks... '65' Landau...
I'm installing a Tri-Power manifold, it has a 3/8 NPT thread for the heater hose which seems like a leap to 3/4 barb? I'm going to get my heater/evaporator box out of storage and check the diameters of the pipes.
The Vac operated heater control valve measures for 1/2" hose, can I assume that it installs on the hose from the water pump? If the control valve is 1/2" hose then there must be some reducer or the "Y" might tend to that?
Thanks for your help...

Re: HEATER HOSES...
Nice restoration, Mitch.
So, This raises more questions than I expected. I've got no knowledge of the water routing for the TP intake and associated carbs. For comparison, the stock 4100s require a heater hose is snugged next to the choke and, routing (and pipe sizes) is changed depending on A/C car or heat-only. I'm gonna describe stock routing for 65MY w/AC.
Here's the Y-pipe. 3/4" coming from the top pipe of the core (water out), joined by 5/8" line (16mm) which is the line fastened to the side of the choke, both lines returning water to the water pump. This is the only 3/4" line. (the 5/8" line NOT connected to the Y is water from intake to water valve) The water valves today are not perfectly the same as the OEM. The one in your picture looks like mine. 5/8" in and 5/8" out--water into core through the lower pipe. This is the stock intake. Two 5/8" lines. One leading to the water valve, one leading to the choke. This is where you are on your own, as your 3/8" NPT opening is not the same as my intake. Honestly, I don't know the opening w/o taking things apart...I thought it was 1/2" NPT. Corrections and further help requested.

Re: HEATER HOSES...
I don't know why the second pic has to be upside down...not my fault.
If you click to enlarge it, it's right side up.
