Hand-Drawn Cooling Schematic - Modified Radiator with Inline 190° Thermostats

Hand-drawn cooling system schematic showing a modified radiator feeding hoses with 190-degree inline thermostats into the intake.

AI caption · Photo 142 of 274

This document is a hand-drawn schematic sketch showing a modified engine cooling system layout. At the top of the drawing is a component labeled "Modified Radiator," depicted with a filler cap and two lower outlets. Two hoses (labeled "Hose" with arrows) run downward from the radiator to an engine intake manifold, which is labeled "INTAKE" and drawn with four port openings. Placed in each of the two hoses, between the radiator and the intake, are hatched sections identified by a callout arrow as "Inline thermostats 190° Alfa Romeo," indicating that two 190-degree Alfa Romeo inline thermostats are installed in the hoses rather than a conventional thermostat in the engine housing. The sketch communicates a dual-hose, dual inline-thermostat cooling arrangement feeding the intake, apparently part of a custom or modified cooling setup. There are no part numbers, dimensions, torque values, wire colors, or dates on the drawing — only the four handwritten labels. Based on the uploader's filename ("inline B302"), it appears to relate to a Boss 302-style engine cooling modification on a 1973 Ford Mustang, though the document itself does not state a vehicle, year, or engine beyond referencing Alfa Romeo thermostats.
