HELLO FOLKS. I HAVE A 8BA 276" IN MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 36 TUDOR. I AM NOTICING A LOSS OF WATER IN ABOUT 50 MILES OF LESS THAN A GALLON. ONCE SHE COOLS DOWN THE TUBES ARE EXPOSED. NO OVERHEATING WITH THE ORIGINAL 84 YEAR OLD RADIATOR. BEING NEW TO THE BARN I HAVE READ LOTS ABOUT THE OVERHEATING AND INTERNAL LEAKS; MUCH TO EXPLORE THERE ! HOWEVER THE FIRST AND EASIEST THING TO DO IS TRY A ROUND TUBE TYPE RECOVERY TANK RIGHT TO THE LEFT INSIDE OF THE RADIATOR ABOUT 2" x 19". MY QUESTION IS CAN I HOOK THE TANK ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE FORD FACTORY OVER FLOW TUBE DOWN LOW. THE TOP OF THE TANK WOULD BE ABOUT EVEN WITH THE TOP OF THE RADIATOR. BY THE WAY I DON'T OVERHEAT WITH 180% ELECTRIC FAN. NO WATER SEEMS TO SPILL OUT WHEN STOPPED. I KNOW THERE A LOT TO STUDY HERE AND AM DOING SO. THANKS FRANK FREDA SANTA BARBARA CA.
