I'm sure many of you have been through this before but here's my story. Last Thursday morning the upper heater hose split just under the intake manifold. Lots of steam but got her home before all of the coolant was gone. Never went over 3/4 on the temp gauge (whew)

On Sunday morning I grabbed some 5/8" hose and went at it! (I'll get the proper hose ASAP, just a bodge with the straight hose so I can use the car Monday morning)

As I was moving things out of the way to get under there (what a nasty place to reach BTW) I attempted to unplug the engine wiring harness. You folks that have been around 80s bricks know what I found!!



Luckily I had some shrinkwrap and there was good insulation below the mess. Here's the finished job.



I think I'm going to pull the adhesive electrical tape off and do a better job of sealing things up as soon as I get a chance.

Where else should I look for damage?

Mark.
