The clip would slide into place but I don't beleive the tank was ever on the fitting far enough for the clip to get in the grooves. I have a trans tstat but I didn't notice one on the car. Where was it supposed to be? Maybe this is why I cannot get the new tank to seat on the elbow
I just looked at a diagram on RealOEM of the cooling system. I think I see part, if not all, of my problem... I didn't know the tstat went inside the bottom of the expansion tank. I had never noticed that before. I was trying to connect it without the tstat. No wonder... Now its my turn to
Thanks for helping me out. I would never have known that if you hadn't induced me to study the diagram. Now I will try it with the thermostat, but no time soon. The tank I have isn't leaking I was just doing some PM on the cooling system. I have a new thermo and some hoses too. Thanks again.
