Bypass hose on tripower engine?
Is the bypass hose down to the water pump different for a tripower engine compared to one with just a 4bbl? Which nipple on the water pump does it normally connect to?

Absolutely different. The hoses are swapped/crisscrossed on the water pump for the tri carbs. Fusick has the correct repo hose.

Yes, The Tripower hose actually connects to the heater nipple. So it's significantly longer vs the regular 400 L-shaped hose.

Tripower:


Standard bypass:

Should have realized it before now but the top radiator hose is different for a tripower setup also.
