This is what I mean about quality clamps, it is the type you find on German cars. They won't cut into your hoses. I got mine from Summit Racing also on Amazon

The manifold to core is 3/4 hose is and the NAPA fitting is 5/8. That is why a good worm gear clamp is needed to take up the slack. Many times I‘ve by-passed bad heater cores in vehicles like Cherokee’s were the dash has to come out to replace the core by looping the 3/4 hose over to the 5/8 fitting. Haven’t had a failure yet. YMMV.
im confused. do i have to drill into the engine in order to get 15-33220 to fit in?? or can i just remove the factory fitting and screw this new one in??Remove the MAP sensor and bracket and losten the harness retaining nut to get a straight shot with the drill.
Half of the broken off end of the QD was rotted away so I went straight to the step bit.

One of the old timer ticks I was taught was coat drills and taps with wheel bearing grease to trap the chips and keep them out of the engine. The first step cut right through with drill on forward.

I tired reversing the drill for the next step and it caught the remaining threads and twisted them out in chunks.

awesome thanks! mine looks rough but im hoping ill get it out in one piece. ill hit it up with pb for several days before pulling, 15-33220 will take about a week to arrive anyhow.IF (big IF) you can unscrew the old one, you can screw the new one in. The problem is the original one is sometimes so rotted that they break off in the manifold. Then the remnants have to be "extracted".
That'll make a nice stain on the concrete where it all drips off.ill hit it up with pb for several days before pulling
