I seen on here about putting valves in the heater hoses to close them off so the cabin will not get hot. Dose anyone know the hose size and what type of valves to use....

Vette(s): 1981 Blue Ice Met. w/pearl ghost flames TKO500 5speed. LS1 Swap 3.45 Dana 44.

The stock sizes are 3/4" on one hose and the other should be 5/8."

I used a ball valve on the one hose and put a new factory vacuum valve on the other. Keeps the cabin a little cooler.
