SECTION B -PARTS PREPARATION-

SMALL BLOCK FORD
Use the center portion from the radiator to the lower
connecting tube. (You must tell us that you’re using a
small block when you order.)
Upper hose
The long leg of the aluminum connecting tube goes toward
the radiator.
Lower Hose, Ford small block
429/460 FORD
Lower hoses are the same as the FE Ford.
You must use an in-line filler cap (i.e. Moroso) or an
expansion tank. If you are using an in-line filler only, you
must use an overflow system that replenishes the system
automatically.
Pad the "X" member if the upper hose touches it.
REAR SUSPENSION, JAGUAR:
DISASSEMBLY
See the exploded view of the lower control arm on page
41. The following Jaguar core/parts should be thoroughly
checked and rebuilt if necessary: brake calipers,
emergency brake pads and linkage, universal joints on
half-shafts, hub carrier and lower control arm bearings.
Bearings, etc. are listed on page 154. We have found that
the
Spicer

U-joints listed are the only brand that
consistently meets the standards required of the Jaguar
half-shafts (and we've tried quite a few).
Replace any corroded or damaged brake lines. Be sure to
use lines with the proper end flare and fittings. Note that
some British fittings have a convex (bubble) flare that
mates with a concave receptacle in the caliper. While this
is similar to some metric fittings, the threads are SAE. It is
not possible to make these flares with a conventional
flaring tool. Aftermarket suppliers and Jaguar dealers
have these British style lines.
Mount the brass junction block on the left front of the
cage, with the fitting for the flex hose up. If your rear
suspension core has the junction block pointing forward,
fabricate a small bracket from
1 /
8
" steel strap. Install the
hose (mounted on the chassis, originally) onto the junction
with a copper "0" ring.
