78710.18+ miles - Dr. Bob 02/01

Installing DMC Joe's Overheat Protector /  Automatic Bleeder.
The top picture shows the view from the back of the car with the throttle cable shield update removed. A brass fitting replaces the bleed screw on the Thermostat Housing. The new hose is routed along the right water pump hose, and is held in place with a Ty-rap.

The bottom picture shows the other end of the new hose, connected to the brass 'T'. This T has been inserted into the small hose on the coolant bottle, a few inches from the bottle. This routing does not quite follow the recommendation that came with the kit, but the hose was too short to route behind the bottle and through the bottle mounting brackets.
