Help. Need info on where stuff goes.

Hey guys. I'm putting a rebuilt 13BT back in my car. The engine is in and everything but I have a couple of questions on where everything goes. First the switch or sensor that is on the bottom of the radiator is broken. Anyone knows the name of this part? The Haynes manual calls it a radiator switch? Is that right? I need to get a new one of those. On the driver's side of the motor just to the left of the oil filter there are 3 pipes that are arranged like a triangle. I know 2 are for the fuel lines I dont know what the 3rd is for or which ones are for the fuel in and return lines. I'm sure I'll have more questions later but thats all for now. Thanks.

can't help you out with the radiator question, but i can tell you when you're reconnecting your fuel lines, the one on the left side (standing on the drivers side, looking into the engine), is coming in (from the fuel tank, through the filter), and the one on the right side is the return.

I don't know about the third one? (you said it was in a triangle formation).. Hope this helps!

For the 3rd line, you may be talking about the evaporative emissions line. It connects to a short piece of hose, which connects to a ridged pipe that travels along the firewall to the charcoal canister.

As for the switch at the bottom of the rad, it is for the 3000RPM startup. Don't connect it. Just jumper the two pins in the connector together. This will disable the 3000 RPM start.
