Coolant bypass

[Paul A]

I finally found the source of an annoying leak! The pipe connection to the bypass hose, as seen in the photo, rusted through. Grrrrr

PAul, DO you have a solution?

GoTO the link below my signature element: http://danr.mhartman.net/
and you will get this:

HOSE, Water, Heater By pass, etc
1974-1978 Ford Mustang II Bypass Hose – Dayco 70773 or Gates or ? In the below PIC my Machine Guy welded in a fitting that adopted to the Bypass hose. Just one means of making it work.

Pic’d below is a Stock Metric Nipple 22MM 1.5 threads that screws into the Intake manifold for the bypass hose. They are most likely corroded as this one and needing replacement. Replacements are difficult if not near impossible. Several solutions can be found. See the hose picture above, just below the Temp sending unit and the ones below for some ideas.
