Default need quick help on looping heater core lines, 79 camaro

Like the title states I need some quick help on how to loop the lines to my heater core. It went out and now the only thing coming from the vents, is steam. And lots of it.

I am a total newb to these cars, and forums, so please be easy on me.


Please be as descriptive as possible...


Thanks

First drain your radiator down so you wont lose more anitfreeze. There's two hoses going to the heater. One is 3/4" and one is 5/8". Remove both from the heater core, then take the 5/8" line off completely. Now hook the end of the 3/4" line back where you took the 5/8" line off. Refill your system and you're ready to go with no heater.
Hey it's cold in Tacoma in Jan., so be careful you don't fog up the windshield!

"A funny thing happened on the way to the show last summer"!
Had to do an emergency splice on my old 79 Vette when the heater core took a dump.
All you gotta do is form a loop from the water pump to the intake.
If you want to keep it bypassed forever, you can remove both hose nipples and install plugs.
