Question about coolant lines to tb

[Brad_H]

So the 2 little steel coolan lines going to the throttle body can I just eliminate them and put 2 plugs in the throttle bodie and plug the other ends as well

 

[Brad_H]

Or does hot coolant need to flow threw the tb ?

For Cold weather drivability only.
The old trick was to run a loop from the small nips on the coolant line to do as you indicated.

Or - you can also swap to this:

And of course cap the TB ports

You don't even need to block the ones on the TB, just the ones on the lines.

Ya I know what you guys are saying I eliminated the little steel lines on top of the intake.....looks a lot cleaner without the little rubber hoses and steel lines

 

[Brad_H]

I just looped a small rubber hose from one port to the other port on tb and added longer hoses for the vacuum lines
