This also fixed the misalignment of the top radiator hose with the retrun opening on the radiator. TO test the car I took it out for a drive last night. The air temprature was 98 degrees. Even in the shade it was hot. I could not believe it. The temp never rose above the center of the normal range on my Boyce temp guage. In the past ...
