Reply to "Stainless cooling pipes"

jb1490Member

This is what I had to do to the SS tubing kit that I bought for my '71. Water pump and swirl tank are stock. Swirl tank is mounted in stock position.

The 90° elbow that is at the rear of the right under body coolant tube is just that...90°. It needs to be less than 90° in order to line up with the tube that goes to the bottom of the swirl tank. I finally had to use two 45° copper street elbows that were rotated slightly when fitted together.

The 90° elbow that went to the water pump needed to be extended 1.5" in order to line up with the water pump inlet.

These pics were taken a couple of years after installation to help another lister. I had the stock York compressor installed when these pipes were installed, and later changed to a Sanden compressor (as can be seen in the pic).
