COOLANT SYSTEM LAYOUT?

[gumbys69]

I SAW A PIC OF A LAYOUT OF THE COOLANT HOSE AND HEATING HOSE PLUS CARB COOLER. ON THIS WEBSITE AND CANT FIND IT NOW. DOSE ANYONE KNOW??????

[FORDification]

Here you go...but please turn off your CAPS LOCK, so it doesn't appear as if you're shouting at us.





Incidentally, the hose that gets routed up beside the carb (or through the plate under it) isn't a cooler...it's actually a 'warmer'. The hose that's connected to the side of the carb by the choke allows the choke to sense the coolant temp and adjust the choke accordingly. The plate under the carb was to keep the it from icing up in cold climates.

so that plate is worthless?

[fordman]

the carb plate is only worthless if you live in arizona or california places like that. hwere it is always warm year round. it a carb deicer system.

[fordman]

when my a/c went out my cab would get really hot when driving it. i almost couldn't stand to drive it. it was so hot.

260 AC, 2 windows down, 60 mph. Just don't get used to it in another vehicle, cause then its worse than before in the vehicle without it. I never thought nothin' of it in the '67, then I road in my dad's new truck, now I wish I could get AC inside my truck, oh well. You'll get used to it though, about a month in july shoveling on the asphalt crew and it won't even matter.
