Jegs Coolant Overflow Question

WardL · #1 (**permalink**) 05-19-2011, 10:35 PM

I just received the Jegs coolant overflow container and wondering how it hooks up. It is about a quart and has fittings on both ends. I'll try to insert a picture. I assume the overflow hose under the radiator cap goes to one end of the bottle. I'm guessing the overflow from the radiator connects to the bottom and the top hose goes to the deck?

Thanks for the help. Too bad I didn't get one with some kind of way to see the level of coolant in it! There must be one that shows the level. Is there a better one out there I might consider?

You can put a T at the bottom , a T at the top . Run piece of clear tubbing from the bottom to the top. SPF # 2773

The nicest reservoir I have found is a 67-68 Mustang windshield reservior. It is a heavy plastic and I drill and tap an overflow in the side of the tank about 1/2 inch from the top. It shows your coolant level easily and has three mounting tangs and was originally made to be vetericallly mounted on the side fender wall. It looks factory. They are available for Mustang Unlimited under part #F 1681 01 and are $29.95 each.
