Subject: Re: 86 thermostat removal by Matatk on 2011/3/8 0:00:25 Postal - you are essentially removing a small loop from the system with the bypass. The coolant goes direct between the heater core and manifold as opposed to having to make another route through the TB. As far as the low coolant light, you probably have air in your system. You need to "burp" it. With the car cold, start the car and use the radiator cap. With one hand, open the TB linkage to about 2000 rpms. This will suck coolant into the motor and you'll see it drop in the radiator. Add coolant until it's filled, then cap off. You might need to repeat once more. You can also jack the front p/s to help. 195* is stock, some put in 180*. Plastic hoses are vacuum, lines. You can get replacement hose in a small spool at the parts store for about $4. Just cut to length, use a lighter to soften and bend it. Matthew |
