How do you hook up 1968 chev C10 327 ci heater hoses?
It matters if it has ac or not. If it is a non ac vehicle, the hoses and coolant flow from the fitting close to the thermostat housing to the lower heater core tube, then out the upper heater core tube to the fitting on the water pump. If it has ac, the hose from the upper heater core tube connects to the fitting on the radiator.

The heater bypass tube is the thin metal tube that comes Off of the water pump to remove it from the water pump all you Need to do is use a torch to heat the pump where the tube Goes into the water pump then wiggle the tube out of the Water pump.

Why would a reliant hot water heater not be working properly if all the elements and thermostats have been replaced?
If the dip tube (cold) side is broken or disintegrated. The dip tube is a long tube that forces cold water to the bottom of the water heater so that it keeps the hot water at the top and the cold water from mixing with the hot water. The dip tubes for most maufacturers are made by one company and are made of plastic. There was a oxidizing problem with the tubes in the late 80's and thru the 90's. Oxygen deteriorated the tubes and they disintigrated. Therefore the hot water and the cold water mixed at the top and you get only luk warm water after a short period. Also check that you have 220 volts at the thermostats on the water heater and that the circuit or circuit breaker are not broken going to the water heater.

How do you replace a heater hose on a 1965 ford mustang?
First you need to drain the coolant enough so there's no coolant in the heater lines. Then you have to go under the dash and open up the heater plenum (the black box) and disconnect whatever heater tube you are replacing form the heater core. Lastly, remove the other end of the heater tube from the water pump/intake and pull it through the firewall. Install is the same but in reverse.

What are the small rust particles in your water?
It's sediment from you water heater. The chlorine and other chemicals put into the water to purify it, settle in the water heater when your water isn't being used. When you use your hot water your water heater starts filling with cold water which shakes up the sediment in the bottom. when the hot water is running the loose particles can get into your hot water lines. They can pass until they hit the screens or airators in your lines causing build up. The best solution is to replace your water heater, take off all airators and shower heads clean them out and flush out the hot water system before putting them back on. White particles in water can be caused by calcium if the water is considered hard water. It can also be plastic dip tube that is inside the hot water heater. Check your water heater to see if it has a bad dip tube. The DIP TUBE is a plastic tube that sends the incoming cold water to the bottom of the tank to prevent it from mixing with the hot water going to your faucets. For a period of time between 1993 & 1997, most water heater manufacturers were supplied with defective dip tubes from the same manufacturing company. The problem caused the dip tube to disintegrate slowly, and the particles and chunks to clog up faucets, aerators, etc. There was a class action lawsuit that provided dip tube replacement for those who signed up in time, but that program is now over. Many people didn't hear about the problem in time even though the media reported it on new shows and in newspapers many times for several years.
