I'm putting the engine back together on my 85and noticed that the heater hose Tee has a hole in it and the metal is very thin. I haven't been able to find a replacement and was wondering if anyone saw a problem using a copper Tee from Lowes or Home depot?

I doubt it would cause a problem at all. I would paint it black so it looks right.

I have a copper tee on mine. Left-over stuff from plumbing my
house. I first tried a plastic one that lasted a week. benny |

Copper should be fine, but I've never seen any sort of copper tee with barbs on it at home depot.
The stock one is some cheap type of steel. I assume this is on the heater line into the water pump, where it tees to the engine oil cooler? |

You can get barbed ones (probably not at HD).
You can even get stainless steel: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4HFN4 Attach file:  29T-6web.jpg (0.00 KB) |

Look in the section with the gas lines at Home Depot. If I had to use just regular copper I used to Permatex it to make sure it did not slide apart, and never had one come apart.
