Engine Questions....

Sorry to hear you have a leak. Freeze plug? Intake manifold?

Ok so now that i have my engine back together i am having antifreeze drip...was from thermostat. but thats fixed. and its coming from further back. as far as i can tell not a hose

[Mr. Austin]

hopefully the intake manifold. I will cry if it's my freeze plugs...Thanks for the tip

Been there and done that on freeze plugs. Good luck though.

[Mr. Austin]

soo i assume the next thing to ask would be if anyone had talent and a cherry picker? how much are plugs as well?

You may have to talk to Barbra real nice.... make her stop weeping! have you tracked down where its coming from??? i know once w/ my thermostat adventures, i thought my by pass hose was still nice and all... turns out it wasnt.


Harbor Freight has some smoking deals on engine stands and cherry pickers, btw!

[Mr. Austin]

yeah um hun you moved harbor freight on bell has closed....i loved there cheap good tools but there gone :'( soo yeah. but i think i fixed it. tightened some stuff down and just waiting to see what happens. she is still getting to hot but i think its the new cam....time for an electric fan...

Absolutely hate freeze plugs



My 347 had these as well, absolutely will not go back to tap in freeze plugs. I've had them come out of the block going down the strip and that'll make your ass pucker when that crap gets under the tires.

Bell & 51st Harboor Freight is gone? I was at Bell and 32nd St last week and bought some good stuff.

I had a friend put a new core in my '69 radiator (years ago) and still had cooling issues. Went somewhere else and they showed me it was a cheap core. Got a good one and cooling issues were gone. I have a Pep Boys 3 core in my '89 and have had great results (for $130).
