1961 expansion tank oveflow hose length/routing

[John G.]

I bought a "correct" ribbed hose for my late 1961 car - it's about 24" long . It connects to the expansion tank, goes through a clip that's on the second bolt on the radiator support and then "exits" above the frame. If it was longer there is a nice area for it to exit onto the road. As is it's going to make a mess if it would ever be needed. In the AIM on page 136 it seems to show it exiting about 4" below the "hole". What is the correct configuration?

Do you have the latest (6th edition) of the Judging manual? Too much to reprint. but it does explain where the hose goes.
