Ok been trying to research this and haven't came up with much. I have a Carb motor in a 91 firebird and I'm looking to get rid of the heater hoses so my question is do I need to have a return hose running from the intake back to the radiator and if so does it matter if its on the front or on the back side of the intake?

 

Anybody have any thoughts or ideas on this?

 

Since your going total race car, You don't even need that hose. plug intake and cap/plug the rad fitting.

 

Sweet. Thanks for the reply.

 

Plug and cap or just run a small hose from one point to the other.

 

So can I get rid of the reserve tank to?

 

The overflow tank? You can, I wouldn't. Coolant needs a place to go when it expands. No tank means it goes on the ground and maybe under a tire. Thats bad. If you cap that little nipple, the psi will build and blowout something
Use a overflow of somekind.
