My 85 has a secondary coolant resivoir located under the windshield washer resivoir... i was told it was for sub zero starting or something like that. Anyways there is a long hose that comes out of it that is disconnected and i can't figure out what its suppose to attach to... Anyone have any idea?

 

Goes to the carb...

 

where at?

 

That's for the sub-zero starting system... I don't think it gets that cold in California.

Odds are it doesn't work properly anyhow... there's a TSB that says for dealers to remove or disconnect them on 2nd gens, and they were neve rincluded on 3rd gens.

Pitch the system, it's useless.

 

Only federal cars had them, CARB would not allow cars sold in California to have them because of emission levels when used.

Injecting coolant into your engine a on cold morning is very hazardous to the enviroment.

isn't coolant though - I thought it was eythl glycol...

 

hey im all for removing it so how do i remove it and what do i have to cap off if anything?

 

What do you think coolant is, but Ethylene Glycol.

ethylene glycol
NOUN: A colorless syrupy alcohol, HOCH2CH2OH, used as an antifreeze in cooling and heating systems.

can I post my "d'oh" and "I'm such a friggen jackass" now?

 

There should be a brass port on the carb underneath two of the omp lines. (near the top of the carb, not the OMP lines near the base. It uses a 14mm wrench to remove. Simply cap that port, or take it out and plug it with a like brass screw.

 

Don't feel bad I went to 3 auto parts store until I was informed about what I was looking for was actually anti-freeze/coolant.

Double -dooh..
