Title: Surge tank Q
Post by: KC on July 12, 2011, 09:26:22 PM: Need some direction on the plumbing for the surge tank. I'm ready to install my recently repaired surge tank and not sure how the overflow from the radiator is connected. I'm I correct that the line from the radiator connects to the bottom fitting on the surge tank? Or does it connect to the line directly under the surge tank pressure cap? My tank was completely rusted out on the bottom, the auto resto shop did a beautiful job on repairs, looks NOS.
Thank you for any and all replies.

Whats up with that? Did early models not have a surge tank?
