G'day Larry, How about a pic and also is it on the survivors list? What is the body FW nos? What combo?  Heater hose routing is the same on standard cars. I'll see if I can find a diagram somewhere. You got any left over bits? Regards. Q       admin@53eldorado.com

Larry, the heater system is identical to other 53 series cars. except limo of course. the only difference is the Eldo has a different shaped plenum for the defroster ducts due to the modified cowl. make sure you rebuild/check the 2 heater cores for leaks. As with Q, I can assist with routing, where are you located?  Dave
