Don't recall exactly what I did (oh so many years ago) to make it work, but
used two different hoses and an adapter (size reducer).  Worked, and is
still working, I believe.  NAPA folk can be pretty darned helpful if you let
them.

|# 12 is ordinary 5/8th generic heater hose.
|
|# 13, not shown very well in the diagram,
|is 5/8ths at the T for the rear heater,
|but coming off the forward end of the right cylinder head..
|it's larger than that.
|That hose, # 13 is a special hose just for that application.

|75 bucks or so.  Fortunately still avaiable.
