Maybe I should re-phrase my question...
When engines were originally assembled, what was used to tighten the heater and by-pass hose nipples? 
I'd like to know too!!!

I'm guessing but OE installs were probably a special socket designed with keys inside it to align with the slots
This is what I was thinking, but was there never a special service tool (or whatever Mopar called their specific tools) that they used at dealerships back in the day? Surely they didn't use Vice-Grip(tm) pliers evry time.

Um, because they are professional mechanics. 
Just your standard Small Block LA engine, but the application isn't important really.
You can use a screwdriver and hammer to remove an ignition switch bezel, but we all know there's a correct tool designed for removeing the bezel. I just want to know if there is such a tool for installing and removing heater hose nipples. Maybe it doesn't exist, I dunno...that's why I'm asking.

Yup all the Chrysler mechanics back then had every tool in the manuals and never skipped a step or used a homemade tool.

Back to the question, was there ever a master list of Special Service tools?
are you unable to finish assembling your engine without the tool or is this for your doctorite in auto technology ???
 ... it was a joke son ...
i just looked thru my 69 shop manual , there is not torque spec , no tool listed and not even a procedure to do what you are asking about .
maybe you should have asked this question in the over restored section ???

Miller Special Tools manufactures Chrysler Corporation service tools.
I have quite a few of their catalogs going back to the mid 70's.
Never have seen anything in any of the catalogs for a "special tool" used on the hose fitting nipples.
Thanks.
