What size??

79 Bronco 351m c6 heater hose nipple

The heater hose that hooks to the engine block closest to the distributor. How do I remove or repair it? Does it thread in or press in? The hose will not stay on it anymore. Too short. Rusted away. When I can, I will gat a picture but it is behind the other heater hose, vacuum line for the distributor, wire harness ang steel gas line.

Thank you in advance.

Here is how I got mine out of the old water pump and then I tapped it in place in the new pump.

The one on block is pressed in. Collapse it right next to block with vise grips or a punch and it should loosen up and twist out. Believe they are available from NAPA or do an online search for 351M heater hose nipple. Some people elect to remove old one and tap the hole 3/8 NPT and put brass nipple in.

C5AZ-8555-B . 5/8" O.D. By Pass Hose Nipple - 2 1/2" long - Cut to fit / Obsolete ~ Available from auto parts stores

1965/76 352/360/390/410/427/428 // 1971/82 400 // 1973/89 460 except with E4OD // 1975/82 351M

There's also a 3/4" x 5/8" O.D. nipple, but from the pic, this isn't it.

Thank you

Mike.... Thank you for the link. I saw your reply a few days ago. I needed to come back in and say thanks. I ordered one from my local Carquest, less money and no freight amount.

When I ask CQ the first time, they couldn't find it in the computer or the books. Yes, they still have books. When I went back with the picture and link with a ford reference, he was able to order with no problems. Then they searched in the computer under different classes to see if it could be found. Still no way to find that item.

Once again, Thank you.

Chris

What is the number for this size? My block bore is 3/4" and so is the old nipple.

Thank you. You are a great valuable resource.

I will take that D0o number to my local CQ or Napa store. Because of the covid19, they both have limited hours. Less then my retail hours.
