Lower hose vs. alternator
Is it possible to find a lower hose that will fit radiator to water pump with the alternator in the mid-mount position?

I'd put the alternator where it belongs so it doesn't get splashed with water and crud in the winter. But that's just me

Re: Lower hose vs. alternator
Considering the alternator on all V-8 67-72 trucks was on the drivers side with a short water pump, it looks like you'll have to come up with a different solution than a stock hose.
You could bend a wire coat hangar, or other hunk of sturdy wire, in the shape and length you'll need and head to the parts store to see what you can compare it to for fitment. Gary

Re: Lower hose vs. alternator
Thanks for that. A starting point is just what I needed.
Is that some sort of extension coming off the water pump? |

Here is a link to a youtube video on wiring the fans. I used a BMW temperature sensor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAKn...ndex=40&t=740s Here is a link to the BMW switch. I used a 81/88 Deg C switch and wiring harness that I found at a local Pick'n Pull https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88jkW4mC8oY Last edited by gpgofast; 04-30-2021 at 05:39 PM. |

Re: Lower hose vs. alternator
I looked and nobody seemed to have the hose in-stock locally so I immediately ordered that sucker on-line, very interested to get that crossed off the list, Thank-you again. It should work, your radiator looks very similar to mine.
I also used a dual fan controller but went with a dakota digital, probably cost me more than yours did. It did, however, come with excellent wiring diagrams and the two relays needed. Said I could use the temp sender if it was from Classic Instruments, which mine is. So we'll see. Getting ever closer to start-up....... |
