OK, it's me again. After finally getting that '51 utility truck in my garage yesterday and developing a leak which I suspect is the water pump, I started woking on it today. After taking out the radiator I came upon this mistery go nowhere hose which puzzled me. I posted 3 pictures in my photobucket titled Eng.1,2 & 3. This port, situated on the side of the housing where the top radiator hose goes, has a 3" long, 1" ID piece of hose plugged with a bolt. This is a 216 inline 6. Could that housing with the extra port be for a different model and not needed for this engine? If anyone can help I'd be grateful. Check the pix at:
My Photobucket Pics If my pictures don't show up, put in the word "goaliepab" in the search and it wil ask you if you are looking for Photobucket user "goaliepab" then click on that link. I don't why it does that but if someone has an answer for it I'd be glad to listen and correct it. Thanks.
