well first you need a 92+ radiator, the over flow bottle, and a bout 3 feet of fuel line. you will also need to swap your the heater valve to a H.O. style one located on the passenger side behind the distributor. junkyard is you friend but i would buy a new radiator. if you buy a new radiator you can reuse the sensor in the radiator and not buy a thermostat housing. cause the new ones have holes for both renix and OBD1 systems

or but one of these if your rad is still in good shape take the two hoses off pressure bottle and connect together mount this in top rad hose at highest point then mount a over flo bottle run the small nipple with hose to this
