[Rich-L79]

The L79 intake is a Corvette piece and L79's when installed in Chevelles and Chevy II's used the bypass hose. It couldn't hurt to hook it up and find out if it helps with your heating problem but I doubt it will make much difference.

I've got the bypass hooked up on my L79 because it's always been that way and that's the way the General made it. You certainly wouldn't hurt anything by hooking it up.
