pressure in coolant lines
so i replaced my radiator last week, and the car is still overheating like crazy. so now on to the next step of trying to figure out the problem.
what type of pressure is supposed to be in the coolant lines?

when i squeezed the lines by hand (donot really have anything around to actually check the pressure) they felt soft as though perhaps there was not much in them.. but then again i never checked when everything was running right to know a difference.
stupid me. i forgot to check the thermostat when i had the radiator out.. now i need to go and drain the system again to be able to check it (but i do need to do that)

For $4.95 from VB you might as well just replace it anyway. If your hoses feel really soft then you should replace them, I will be very soon on my car as you can pretty much collapse them (with the car running) by barely touching them and applying slight pressure. I assuem you are referring to the 79 in your profile, you might as well go ahead and replace all the hoses if you have the money and time too.

it is in the 79, but everything is from my old 80. but hat is still old.. i am going to look into replacing the thermostat. it is possible that i will do those as well. just depends on how long away pay day is (the 15th. so far away)

I know that all too well. All the hoses are pretty cheap except one, the bastard hose that goes from the the pipe under the plugs, around the back of teh engine and through the firewall into the heater. That ****** is like $45 what a rip. Oye, oh well, I bit the bullet and bought it figuring I won't have to worry about it for a long time. i hope......
