Replied to and posted some pictures in response to a question on another site and thought I should duplicate the post over here to help out current and future members

Appears that the hose from the intake manifold was routed lower most heater hose connection at the firewall
Hope these original picture help. Notice the hoses wrapped around each other to keep them together on these different examples

Very interesting Jeff. Any reasoning behind why they "wrapped" the hoses? One would think seperated they might dissipate heat better??

On some applications Ford used aluminum ties to hold them together. Kept things neat but more importantly IMHO they likely made installation quicker. In this case I would guess it was to keep them together and tucked nicely between the intake and valve covers since one of them (like in other applications) didn't need to be routed to the carburetor choke cover.
Someone apparently thought it was a good idea. Not sure if it was the engineers or the workers on the line

My guess would be that the "workers" thought of this fix. It's just too simple and not eloquent enough for an engineer to have thought of it.

As a systems engineer (retired), I resemble that remark!

As a technician, we had a saying -
Make it simple enough for an engineer to understand and you won't have any problems.
Then I became an engineer. Now I understand.
