Radiator overflow resuvoir install HELP!
Hi gang, I took my radiator resuvoir out about 6 mos ago with no documentation and now finding out I forgot how to connect all the hoses up.
Pics would be great if anyone has. Also my assembly manual does not have this info (that I can find).
Basic info
1971 LS5 with AC
I have two 1/2 in hoses one from the heater core and one from some valve (on the car now)
The resuvoiur tank has 2 1/2 in nipples and 2 3/8 nipples.
FYI my radiator is currently out of the car.
Thanks fo the help!

Re: Radiator overflow resuvoir install HELP! (71LS5)
This info should be in your AIM in the regular production section. It may not be listed in the options section with the LS5 option drawings, although somewhere back there it might say "assembles same a production." I am not sure of the hose routing on a big block, but on a small block, the line runs from the water pump to the expansion tank along the fender skirt, then from the tank to the heater core.

Re: Radiator overflow resuvoir install HELP! (Easy Mike)
stupid question AIM is the Assembly Manual? If so the info is not there that I can see. Like I said the expansion tank has 4 nipples on it! I have two larger hoses comming from the heater core area (one is the heater core the other goes to a valve (heater core return I think). Its not as simple as hook it up to the radiator along the fire wall. A diagram would sure help and any pics as well. Can anyone assit with what I am asking for?
