Loose radiator

['Noker]

Thanks for the info - I will keep that in mind for the next repair!
While I was cleaning out the coolant reservoir, I noticed a broken wire - you can actually see it in the first photograph in the upper left-hand corner, coming off the white connector. It goes to a small black cube attached just beyond the distributor - looks like a sensor - can someone tell me what it is?

ignition noise suppressor (capacitor). Not vital, but should be reconnected.

Thanks! I've spliced it back together using electrical tape, but the insulation is brittle and cracked in other places - its going to break again - I will look for a replacement.

Glad you signed up 'Noker!

I just wanted to update this thread. I replaced this rad, and both lower trans mount a long time ago. Also did a valve cover and full tuneup. 'Noker's wife is DDing this puppy, covered the hatch in Zombie magnets, and has affectionately named it fat bottomed girl! Oh, and at 190K it had NO oil in the air intake tube. It was squeaky clean. And in typical 89 auto fashion it is unreasonably quick!

Thread resurrection complete!

I would get a 7 PSI cap or leave the coolant level down a little or both. The patch might last a little longer.
