Dave,

I think you're right on to get a metal T-connector for the heater lines.

Here's just a thought along those lines. I moved to Rochester, MN from Cleveland, OH in January 1970. My 1968 Ford Torino just laughed at me within a couple of days when I asked it to start one morning. I bought a heater to install in a tap off the heater hose. I installed it and plugged it in. A little while later, it had melted the plastic Y-connector and dumped the antifreeze.

I talked to a native Minnesotan and he suggested that I might have had an air gap in the antifreeze just above the heater. According to him, if that air gap is in there, the heater will boil the antifreeze and the steam will be hot enough to melt the plastic Y-connector. I don't know if he was right or not, but I bought a metal Y-connector, installed it , primed the heater hose that went down to the heater itself, and plugged it in.

The heater worked great for the four years I lived in Minnesota. I then moved to Miami. I can't tell you how many times I explained to people in Miami why I had an electrical plug hanging out of the front of my car!

Good luck with your installation.

Tom in TN
