Jim and Barnbird. Just wanted to thank you again for your help with this issue. The Parts Catalog with the diagrams was just what I needed. I reviewed the heater hose parts and diagram in the manual. The kinking problem was not caused by the inner fender, heater core nozzel, or the routing. By looking at the diagrams you provided, I found out that the original hose was a "FORMED/MOLDED" heater hose with a 90 degree bend where it goes on the heater core tube. I tried to source an original hose but all of my searches came to a dead-end. That part simply is not in the repro market. We have a Chevy Camaro repro shop here. I talked with them and they were very familiar with this very issue on the 67 Camaro with AC. I did solve the problem though. I searched and searched for a heater hose with a 90 degree formed bend and 5/8 in ID. I finally found one and went to the local parts store. The hose I used was made for a Dodge Dakota. The 90 degree bend fit where it should with no kinks. The hose is 36 inches long so I just used the wife's good knife and hacked off six inches of the hose on the end that goes to the block and it fits very well with no kinks and plenty clearance all around. Hope the wife doesn't get any ideas about using the knife on me. I was even able to route the hose pretty close to how the original hose would have been routed according to the diagram you sent. I know it would not pass the judges inspection at a car show. But for a daily driver like mine, it was a perfect solution. Don't know if the engineers and designers who originally designed the Birds are still alive. If not, I am sure they are turning over in their graves watching me put a MOPAR part on their car. Thanks again for your help with this issue. I am sure I will be back in the future with more questions. Ron
