Is your lower radiator hose reinforced?
By Dave Shoe - 02/24/2001 1:19:28 AM; IP 216.243.158.112
Your water pump can pull a vacuum in the lower radiator hose and collapse it when driving. I don't know whether it collapses more readily at lower speeds or higher speeds, but it's something to look at. I have seen lower hoses collapse just be revving the carburetor with the car in park.

The lower radiator hose must have a wire coil either molded into the rubber or alternately inserted inside the hose. The wire coil needs to extend from the radiator to the water pump.

Hey, it's an easy check, so I though it worth mentioning.
