Default Griffin rad users ?

For the people using the griffin rad for the stand up deal..what are yall doing with your steam pipe vent tube and where are you tieing it in?


Im thinking seeing im deleteing my hvac ill tie it into the top hvac line on the water pump but im not sure if this will work,has anyone else tied into that spot.

I know the top tube is the return line on the pass side of the water pump and the bottom is the inlet tube..i was just going to freeze plug all 3 of them anyways but then i rememberd my steam pipe an started to think where to tie it in at and this seems like a good spot.

A lot of people just have a nip welded on the radiator for the line (the way it is on our stockers).

yeah i seen that already but im trying to dodge that seeing i would only use it for a couple months and then have to cap it seeing i wouldnt need it anymore..

i just did more research and it looks like people of still have hvac tie it into the T on the heater hose.So with that being said i could tie it into the top line on the water pump that is for the heater hose...

heres the direction of the flow for the heater core.
