I'm driving a few hours tomorrow to buy a running Ford 292 for my '56 F100 and there appears to be a hose coming out of the engine block below the generator bracket. Is it supposed to be there or did someone add it?
The heater hose return has a tee in it that it hooks up to. This is a pre dis-assembly picture of my 292. You can kinda see the tee in the bottom picture. It is in the line going to the top of the intake manifold.
The hose going to the left goes to the heater (actually it is the return from the heater) and the tee branch goes to the nipple coming out the side of the block just below the generator.
