Default Quick TBB question

Im bypassing the TB instead of using the adapter im just running a new hardline from the radiator to the motor. I can only get the radiator end on about 60% of the way, but I have a little band clamp on the hose. Will I be ok or will I blow it off?

I'm running 1 hose from the engine to the radiator instead of connecting the two old hoses. Mine is on the way on both ends. I believe I used a 3/8" heater hose and held it with two regular screw-on style hose clamps.

You might need to get a pocket knife and bore out the inside of the hose a little to get it to slip over the radiator side. I used 3/8" fuel line.

BTW - You can pull those old tubes out of the throttle body by twisting/yanking on them. They are just pressed in, but do require quite a bit of force to get them out. You'll be able to run the hose right where they are after they're gone.

I was using 5/16" line and it wasnt working well. Im just gonna run it underneath my lid and clamp the hell out of it on the engine side and use 3/8" hose. Thanks guys
