1972 Dodge Colt

Still herding cats.
For every step forward, seems I get another setback.
This weekend I cut the front motor plate for a water pump.
Installed a radiator overflow can.
Also mounted a Moroso water pump drive system.
I bought the system from Amazon and saved about 50 from the Summit price.
Found a lower hose that will work and I am about half way on the top hose.
Top fitting on this rad is on the wrong side for a slant.

Then on Saturday I had a guy over buying some heads.
When he got here I kept hearing a hissing, like an air compressor.
I walked on the passenger side of the Colt and damn if that tube has gone bad!
Same as the one that went bad last year.
That was a solid kick in the shorts.
Tonight I pulled the tube, sure enough the stem was half way detached.
I will call hoosier tomorrow and try to get an answer from their experts.

Stan, I had the same issue with my Hoosier tubes. No matter how I orientated the stem in the wheel the stem would still detach from the tube. Just decided to run my Hoosier slicks without the tube. Just coat the inside of the slick with some dawn dishwashing liquid and that prevents leakage.
