[Tigers] radiator hose sucking shut

[Rense, Mark (GE Indust, ConsInd)]

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.

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,
