Re: Frozen Camaro

sounds to me like you screwed up all the heater lines and most likely the diverter valve . get a good book , study it , and re-route hoses as they should be . htr. controls are vacuum operated so check all of them . maybe just a vacuum lk. .

Re: Frozen Camaro

If I'm not mistaken, this is what I did. I took the water outlet on the intake and ran it straight to the top hose inlet of the heater core, then I ran the bottom hose outlet of the heater core straight to the radiator. I had to cap off the top of one of the heater lines that tee'd up straight to the heater bypass valve, thus creating a straight in and straight out for the heater core. This is from memory, so you might want to take a pic and post it here. I'm sure we can get you up and running again.

Re: Frozen Camaro
