88 Notch, converted to MAF, E303 cam.
I just bought this car, it was used strictly for dragging. First trip out I found out the stat was stuck closed. Short trip, replaced it with a 160, bled the system of air. 2nd trip out and it blew the hose off from the water pump to the thermostat housing at high revs. Oops, my fault forgot to tighten the clamp. Filled up the rad, let it run until the temp came up to normal, put the cap on and a way I go. Today I notice after a 10 minute run I notice coolant spitting out the overflow (attached to lower passenger side frame rail) but only at idle. Do I have too much coolant in it? The jug has to nipples, one is attached to the overflow from the top of the rad, the other has nothing. If I plugged that empty one with my finger, it would proceed to come out around the 2 round caps. Here is a pic of the overflow with what looks to be a missing hose.
