96 gt with PI top end and non pi bottom end. The car came without the heater core hoses. I want to install the hoses. Do I need to get hoses for a PI motor or a non PI motor? Thanks in advance.

The location for pi and npi is different so neither hose bended correctly for me. I used a 95 hose. The shape was decent, but the ID is wrong (sae vs. metric?) and it tended to seep. Still looking for a better option.

Where does it seep on the manifold or the core?

At the back of the motor where the rubber hose goes from the tube to the heater core. Also, last time assembled I had to use rtv with the o rings at the nipple from the water pump.

In the shop
Run to the parts store and look at their selection of hoses. Youll get something pieced together

Blak have had trouble with the two "o" rings sealing at the nipple at the water pump?
