Embarrassing Coolant tube question

the tubes don't "cross.

The left hand tube connects to the coolant pump suction at one end and the upper radiator nipple at the other end. The upper nipple is in essence the radiator outlet, notice it is located in the bottom of its respective tank.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday when I was planing my reinstallation the cooling tubes but forgot which one goes where ? ... better ask the question then over heat the old "C".

Thanks for making me feel better, Ron. If YOU could consider this question, it gives my brain new self-esteem.

Exacty as Brother George states .. which also seem very logical ..because then you dont have to jump one pipe over the other .. they sort of smoothly weave up to the right.

Finally found the time to put it all back together. Detailed while in there, undid the wires on the relays, painted up under the bare metal. Wow.

Anyway, got it in, filled it according to sequence. Car leaked slightly and I double clamped. I think it's all tight, except for one thing...

NOW, when I turn on my switch, my left fan comes on! It WAS (before rad removal) coming on with the thermoswitch at about 190, but now, full on all the time. What did I do wrong?

I'd say you inadvertently switched some wires on the relays?

Go to Panteraplace and check SOBill's wiring diagram for the fans/relays.

Adams,
Before I learned the hard way to take pics and make diagrams I did the same thing. More than likely you have just switched a wire on a relay.

PS: Make sure you burp the system numerous times or you may end up with bigger issues.

Have Fun!
