Heater Inlet Adapter/Flow Restrictor/Check Valve

Post by pojawis »

Anyone have a part number or part source for this? It's the metal adapter that fits into the heater hose and then into the alternator/tensioner bracket. I've been searching around this forum and found the proper name(s) for it. Also found a diagram on the Brunswick GM site. They had the parts on the diagram, but no part numbers.

Mine are leaking a bit. I think all I'll need are the o-rings, but want to be prepared.

Thanks.

I have had mine off a few times and they are still fine. Most likely the o-rings are bad. I have no idea what the part number is, but I am sure Andrew (harofreak00) would have some. The problem is: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=30370

Appreciate the reply.

In my search, I saw the Honeymoon notice.

I'm expecting to replace the o-rings and not the adapters. We'll see what shape they're in when I pull them.
