on most 72's that wa a open system thet was not etup with a coolent recovery system but u can convert them to that

Family 1972 Imperial did not originally have overflow tank. I don't think 73 NYB had one either.

I agree. I did this when I bought my SF. I pretty much have that frame of mind to just tear it all down, clean and inspect and rebuild with new parts if required, or all new gaskets. Some say..."why, that's a waste of money"...but is it? God only knows what was done to the car before we...

New replacement lower radiator hoses don't come with internal springs. They make repop Mustang versions that would work. https://www.cjponyparts.com/lower-radiator-hose-spring-stainless-steel-small-block-mustang-1965-1973/p/HW769/...

So I had a runaway temp issue when I installed the AC. Thats why I have the cnc impellered flowkooler pump as well as now some high power mishimoto fans and a perfect fitting shroud. My theory was, if the coolant circulates til 195 in the engine and then slowly lets coolant from the radiator...

Cool! Never saw those before! Although it's entirely evident that they are supposed to go on the outside of a hose, I wonder if one could use a 5/8ths diameter version on the inside of a 5/8ths hose, creating the bend to look factory, but with that support coil inside, much like a radiator...

Here is break down of the repairs i did on it from when i bought it in June 2005 till i sold it in the spring of 2008. June 2005 Purchased Coolant system flush filled with Prestone 5 yr antifreeze Upper and lower radiator hoses and clamps Water pump and thermostat. NGK spark plugs, ingintion...

@O_Knut : If you wonder what @300L means by a "spiral", he means that there ought to be a wire spring in the lower radiator hose to prevent the latter from collapsing when hot (which is when you really need the coolant flow). See, for example, the discussions and links starting here. See more...

maybe wire is from lower radiator hose that had wire spring in it.

**NOT FOR SALE** I have been meaning to do a dedicated thread for this car for some time now as it deserves one. This is the story of a one-owner car that I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase and put back on the road. Sit back, relax, and enjoy one of those feel-good stories about an...

First thing to check is that your lower radiator hose has a spring inside to keep it from collapsing.

Hose Hose is new, all of them are really. Well, within the last year anyway. And yes, I made sure the bottom came with the anti-collapsing spring.

Good morning guys, I did have cooling issues like hell ( 250+ after maybe 10min driving) resulted from a totally clogged old radiator. Replaced it with new high performance aluminium 3 row radiator, complete flush of engine block with all plugs out and new thermal fan clutch (OEM). Also...

No spring. Never had an issue with this for the last 8 years. I think its the extra heat from the condenser...

This one, your problem, is just blowing my mind. I've lived in all 4 corners of the country, and I've never experienced the misery that your are going through. When I moved from Az. to S.W. Fla, every shiny place, like where a heater hose had rubbed the paint off of the inner fender instantly...

Thanks Matt! I changed that molded junk out with a good Gates Green Stripe hose, which has a good stiff coil spring from end to end. I had a learning experience with molded hoses w Mathilda this past Spring. For the night, I'll see what happens with the new hose and no thermostat. BTW, the...

I got the starter fixed it was running and driving I just torn parts off during winter ❄️ to start on it during spring also just got a a mid lift I put oil pump timing chain etc on already not even ten 10mins on it just trying to make more dependable you know

Lot of good suggestions here, I had a similar problem with a built 440 in a B-body and the following fixed it: Put the 180 thermostat back. add a 16 psi VENTED radiator cap plus a larger "puke tank", this will create a coolant recovery system like a newer car, allow you to fill the radiator to...

Gotta go get brats pizza NOW. Will reply to you w Due Respect later bro. Thx.

While I have read that the lower hose spring is just there for filling the system on the production line, having seen hoses collapse in use, I still prefer using a spring. Some will tell you that there is a problem if you experience collapse and the hose is a band-aid. I don't know if that is...
