Bleeding coolant - does hose to intake manifold run coolant to the engine? | The De Tomaso Forums

Quick question about the 5/8" rubber hose that runs to the intake manifold.

I just replaced all the hoses and installed SS tubes under my 72 Pantera and had a dumb question. There is a third smaller hard line that runs under the car from the front on the drivers side of the two SS tubes from the radiator and then connects to a rubber hose that is run to a fitting on the rear of the intake manifold.

Does this line also run coolant into the engine? I want to make sure I bleed as much of the air out of the car as possible before I start running it. I'm not seeing any coolant coming out of the intake fitting.

The hose seems way too big to be a vacuum line but I thought most 351C didn't run coolant thru the intake.

Thanks for your help!

I just figured out it isn’t a coolant line. All set

That is the vacuum line to the brake booster.
