1965 Ford Mustang 200 ci 6 cyl Carburetor replacement - Hit a wall
#42
Thanks, I'm trying my best!
As far as these tubes go, I'm having a real hard time taking that black plastic connector out. It comes out just fine on one side (the side closer to the front of the car) but it seems to be stuck on the other side, or I'm just too weak to take it out. I considered just cutting the tube off where the plastic ends, but then it would be too short to reach the spacer. Any ideas?

Replace the hose directly. The other end is at the firewall for the heater. Either slip up under the dash and get that hose off that end, or the clamp is outside on the firewall. Take the clamps off, get a razor slice the hose, and done. New hose, same Inside Diameter (ID).
Take a piece to the auto parts store and get a new set to replace the old ones.
Be what I'd do.
/Of course, coolant might be fun to deal with, so drain some out before the hose replacement, k? K. Take it with you to dispose of a the parts store and then get a gallon of coolant and mix it 50/50, top off the system when you put the hoses back on.

And after thinking about it... where the heater core sits, you might need to drain out a bit more than 'some' coolant. Like, all of it. Because it's low in the system.
Not tryin' to scare ya off, but if you're going to do this stuff... get the right info in your face.
You can do it. Even all us'ns were n00bs at this game!
