camaro radiator?

[ham1974]

I recently bought some parts from an 80's camaro. Ac,power steering unit,steering gear and radiator. My question is what is the tube coming out of the radiator?

My guess it would have something to do with the fill/ burp on those old LT motors.

Overflow bottle hose?

I believe that on some models, it carries coolant to the heating system. As far as I know, its not specific to a particular engine. If you purchase one of these radiators from the aftermarket, that outlet is generally capped off with a clamp on it, and that's how you'd normally use it on a G body.

If that isn't an overflow line then where is it? I don't see one and I know those cars had overflow tanks.

Basically correct It is a secondary flow path for the cooling system and the rear bypass tube. The cooling system hose setup on those Camaro's are a maze.
