Title: Anyone have a pic showing routing of overflow tube?
Post by: GoldGlow73Mach on April 09, 2012, 10:13:18 PM

I am going to install a correct ribbed overflow tube onto my 73 radiator. I know there was no overflow bottle, so how does the overflow tube install (the routing) and where does the coolant spill out? Does anyone have a pic of the setup?

Sorry - nothing clear of that area to show Appears to just travel down the drivers side of the radiator. Not sure if there is a clip or retainer ear on the radiator strap. The fluid just flows out onto the ground like other years

Yep, that's what mine does too.

Yes, the hose ran straight down, and here is pix of my original white clip. The clip was like the type used on the taillight harness, but was white.
