I'm trying to identify the piece that is circled in the picture. A hose is supposed to be connected from that piece on the radiator that leads to the overflow tank. Somehow that piece is missing so the overflow isn't connected.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That tube is for the overflow as you stated. It's above the pressure seal in the cap, so it would not leak under pressure. Is the hole for it in the neck of the radiator? A radiator shop could easily install one.

It's just a 3/8 piece if pipe about 1 inch long I just repaired mine a week ago as it broke off
Any rad shop will repair it at very little cost or if you are a do it yourselfer it's easy.
I didn't have a piece of brass do I just used a piece of copper flared one end of it and used silver soder to braze it to the rad from the inside pretty easy fix

Yes, the hole is on the neck, right below the cap. Any idea what the part (tube) is called? I'm trying to order the piece to install it myself, but without knowing the actual name of the part, I'm at a dead end.

They were never sold separately. Talk to a radiator shop.
