All,



I am installing a '70s 1275 into my '62 mkII Sprite and plan to reuse the
old vertical flow radiator.

Do I just use the thermostat housing and top and bottom hoses from my old
1100 engine?

Or do I need the housing and hoses from an early 1275 from a vertical flow
system?



Also, I need to replace the water pump, are the high-flow pumps worth it, or
should I stay with a standard unit?

Any suggestions?

It looks like I can get a stock unit from Advance Auto parts for $35.



Thanks,

Dean Swanson

'62 A.H. Sprite mkII

(Hopefully to be on the road again)
