Can you block the out from the pump and rear of the intake or just run a hose between them ? Going to start a engine on a run stand Car probably won't have a heater also.

You can do it either way.

Factory heater delete cars simply blocked the ports. There is no need to run a hose. Consider that there is no hose going to the rear driver side anyway, so what makes the passenger side different?

For a quick job you can just throw rubber caps on them. Every rubber cap I've used in the past few years has failed within a few months, so keep an eye on them.
Next time you have the water pump off the nipple can be tapped for a plug and you can replace the heater control valve with a plug.

Anyone have a factory heater delete pics?

Of what? The extra port on the water pump got a rubber cap with a wire spring hose clamp. The nipple at the back of the intake was replaced with a pipe plug.

This supposed to be super rare 67 442 at David's Classic Cars. He has the temporary same rubber blockoff everyone gets with a rebuilt pump.

Someone out there must have a 'real' heater delete car and pics of the fittings.

That's exactly what the factory shows in the Assembly Manual drawings. Whether that particular car is real or not I cannot say, but the cap is correct, as is the wire spring clamp.

So, anyone out there have a heater delete? Share your photos showing the block off locations please. I love this community and the sharing of information about the way these cars were made. Thank you to everyone who makes the effort to connect and learn from each other, you make this a great place.
