TPI Cooling Flow?
What is the cooling flow direct of a TPI with the oil cooler?
Trying to rack my brain and figure out how I can rout it if I eliminate the heater control valve since I did away with the a/c... Problem is that metal pipe on the p/s has 3 ports

Short length of heater hose, correct sized bolt and a hose clamp.

Re: TPI Cooling Flow?
Direction of flow is FROM the heater core TO the oil cooler, then TO the rad.
If you want to bypass the diverter valve, run a single hose from the intake to the heater core inlet (might as well bypass the throttle heater if you haven't done so already). Then simply plug the metal pipe that sticks up from the right side frame rail (the one that used to go to the third port on the diverter valve that isn't there anymore).

Use a hard metal tube (that bolts to the frame rail on pass side) from a non A/C car or a 85ish TPI car. They don't have the third port.
