[V8] Water Hoses

[Carol, Dave, and Zach Weiss]

After a pin-hole appeared in the upper radiator hose, I decided to
replace all the coolant hoses.  I think the rad hoses were replaced once
before, but the heater hoses were all original.  The htr hoses were so
brittle where they connect under the air filter that I had to cut them
off.  Inside the firewall they were still flexible, so maybe if they had
let go the coolant would at least have stayed off my feet.  The most
important thing in changing the htr hoses was lubricating them w/ talcum
powder to get through the firewall; cornstarch would probably do as
well.  Considered (but not very long) removing the hood to get enough
room for my fat fingers.  It's pretty tight by the heater core.

Still waiting on the "grommet" at the firewall, which was in really bad
shape, too.
