Radiator

Radiator, bought a replacement. Murrey brand from auto parts store, there was an extra outlet at the bottom that had a factory rubber cap and clamp. Well after it took pressure I was cleaning up and wiped it noticed if I pushed on it It would leak, ended up putting a thicker cap on it with new clamp and it holds. The factory cap was made with uneven thickness , so just wanted to let everyone know to if you buy one of these radiators , you might want to invest in a heavier rubber cap and clamp,

Ya I am going to try to find a rubber stopper that will fit inside diameter off nipple then put back on the rubber cap for added protection, the cap not that thick I bet it fails after a year and will turn into engine overheat,,, thinking how to sell my idea to Murrey, what you think of the idea of the stopper?

The 3rd. small fitting on my '93's radiator (w/351) is for a coolant line that goes to the throttle body.

Does an E350 (with ? engine) not have TB cooling?
