NOTES: Important Note Regarding Coil Springs No Longer Used In Lower Hoses: Original equipment molded radiator hoses often were equipped with a coil inside them. Some refer to this coil as a spring, but it isn't really a spring. Actually, it is just a piece of thin metal rod that has been twisted, it was designed to facilitate the installation of coolant on the assembly line, and nothing more.
When the cooling system of a car is completely drained, or in the case of a brand new car under construction, never had coolant in it, there is a considerable amount of air in the passageways. Normally, when filling up the cooling system, you start the car to circulate the coolant, displace trapped air, and then top it off.On the factory assembly line, this wasn't feasible, so the air in the cooling system was evacuated by essentially pulling a vacuum on it. This also had the added advantage of speeding up the introduction of the coolant mixture to the cooling system as well. The coil in the lower radiator hose prevented the hose from collapsing under this higher than normal vacuum. Once the car left the factory, the coil served no further purpose. To add, modern molded hoses are manufactured from thicker, reinforced rubber. This is why replacement hoses usually do not have a coil in them.
This silicone high temp radiator hose kit is a one and done radiator hose solution for your AMC V8 or Jeep V8.
