***NOTE***
When routing hoses, refer to Fig. 17-a.
A. Cut a 13.5" length of 3/4" hose. Run this
from the 90° fitting on the Charge Air
Cooler to the straight brass fitting on the
surge tank.
***NOTE***
Make sure to leave the hose slightly long to
allow for engine movement.

the bottom fitting on the surge tank along
the fender toward the front and down to the
90° brass fitting on the top of the water

elbow and cut 1-3/4" from the 4.0" end.

brass fitting on the charge air cooler. Route
the long end toward the surge tank. Cut a
110" length of hose and connect it to the end
of the installed molded elbow with the sup-
plied 3/4" union. Route the hose along the
fender well, down toward the water reser-
voir and up under the front bumper. There is
