429 cj heater hose routing

[B229218]

On 429 cj motors, does anyone know if heater hose connection at water valve have a 90 degree hose at firewall with factory a/c? Heater only cars use straight holes but they are higher up the firewall.

Clevelands use an S curve in the heater hose on A/C cars.

Sorry, i should have said in the post 429, not cleveland cars.  I think with so little room with a big block a s-shape was used.

Hoping i didn't have to go out to the cold garage, pull the cover off and confirm..., but, no one else was coming forward with the answer. So, here is my set up on my J Code Vert. To go one better, the old hose and valve setup are the actual original to the car pieces as installed at the factory. A previous owner had bypassed the heater core (AZ car) and just left all of this as is. I kept the original pieces for future reference and it appear's it helped out here. Hope this is help's you...
