1956 Cadillac Series 62 heater hose routing at booster

[Keldridge]

Good morning
When I disassembled this car the 3/4 heater hose coming from the low side of the water pump on the driver's side looped over the brake booster and then to the y fitting. I haven't found anything on the routing in the authenticity manual and looking at google images I see some over the booster and some under. Either route doesn't look very good as far as functionality due to kinking. What have your guys done there? Asking from a safe social distance!

Stay safe

Kevin,

The hoses are routed under the brake booster.

There should be two hangers at the inner fender where the houses are clipped one on the back for the main return from the left side heater box and one closer to the booster for both the return of the RH and LH heater boxes.

The bottom of the “Y” would go to the water pump inlet.

Thanks. That is a much cleaner look. Appreciate it
