Need Rad Cap info to use with overflow tank
By 68Fairlane390 - 07/09/2002 6:50:52 PM; IP 198.92.211.149
My radiator originally didn't have an overflow tank, just a hose running down the side and draining to the ground.

I've installed an overflow tank, but basic thing is, how do I get the coolant back from the tank into the radiator.

I've got a hose coming from under the current radiator cap going to the overflow, and another hose coming out of the overflow going back to the ground. So what's the point?

Is there a cap or adapter that would let me attach the return hose from the overflow tank back to the radiator. I vaguely remember something about either a weak-springed cap or two-step cap.

Any help with this?

Thank you
