RADIATOR

The
radiator
is

a
conventional
down

flow

type
having

top
and

bottom

tanks
to

distribute
the
coolant
flow

uniformly
through
the
vertical
tube
of

radiator
core

The

radiator
filler

cap
is

designed
to

maintain
a

pre
set

pressure

psi
above

atmospheric

pressure

The
relief
valve

consisting
of

a

blow
off

valve
and
a

vacuum
valve

helps
to

prevent
the
coolant
from

boiling
by
giving

pressure
to
it
How

ever
when

the

pressure
is
reduced

below

atmospheric

pressure
the

vacu

um
valve
allows
air

to
re
enter

the

radiator

preventing
the
formation
of
a

vacuum
in
the

cooling
system

DESCRIPTION

This

system
returns

blow

by
gas
to

both
the
intake
manifold
and
carbure

tor
air

cleaner

The

positive
crankcase
ventilation

p
C
V

valve
is

provided
to
conduct

crankcase
blow
by

gas
to
the
intake

manifold

During

partial
throttle

operation
of

the

engine
the
intake
manifold
sucks

the
blow

by
gas
through
the
P
C
V

valve

Normally
the

capacity
of
the

valve

is

sufficient
to
handle

any
blow

by
and

a
small
amount
of

ventilating
air

Blow

The

tluough
the

Under
full
tluottle

condition
the

manifold
vacuwn
is

insufficient
to

draw

the
blow

by

tluough
the

valve
and
its

flow

goes
through
the

tube

On
