Re: Radiator Question




I always used a mid seventy's big block Dodge pick-up upper radiator hose on my 63 Savoy with 440 and also on my 65 Satellite with a 440. Good luck, Gary Bradshaw Ft. Worth, Texas ----- Original Message ----- From: <HoustonDB@xxxxxxx>

Well, I won't be much help here, but I can offer up a couple of tips.

The upper tank on a poly radiator has the nipple in the center.  On  big
block radiators, it's off to the passenger side. I'd probably try the poly upper
hose (it's just an "L" shaped hose) and see if that works better for  you.
And maybe try a poly lower hose too?  I honestly don't know if  there is a
difference in the lower tanks.

With the Corbin clamps, it can be difficult to get a good seal  sometimes.
In the past, I've put the Corbin clamp on, and then put a regular screw clamp on right behind it. Drive it a week or two like that, and then try removing
the screw clamp.  It's worked  everytime for me.  Be careful how much you
tighten the screw clamp though. Too tight, and there will be an imprint on the
hose when you take  it off.
