Jim,
It's in your lower radiator hose, a quick squeeze of the hose should
confirm whether you have on of these. At higher RPM, the hose can
collapse from the water pump suction if there's no spring.

Subject: [Tigers] radiator hose sucking shut
Hello,
Still trying to debug my rebuilt 260 with new LAT 1 option.
It continues to run really really hot, even with a Derale puller fan
and an electric pusher. Real hot: like 240-250 indicated on a warm day,
slightly less on a cooler one.
I remember someone mentioning the internal spring that prevents a hose
from getting sucked closed.
If you would, which hose is it? I sure hope it is this and not something
much more "deadly"
Thanks,
Jim Armstrong
