    Stop Leak In Radiator

    Sorry, I'm old. What I meant is can the heater control box be removed without the Guage cluster being removed.

    Stop Leak In Radiator

    Just in case it also disconnected at the control box, can you remove it without removing the Guage cluster? The pic looks like you can.

    Stop Leak In Radiator

    Cheeeittt. Was so proud of the heater I played with it on and off and broke the mount at the end of the control cable. NEVER say on to the next problem.

    Heater hose size?

    On mine the 5/8 goes to the intake then to the right-side fitting on the heater core. The 3/4 goes to radiator.

    Heater hose size?

    On mine, the bigger hose went to the radiator.

    Intake for bbc 454

    3 different size intake ports. Large Rectangle, 2 sizes oval ports. Large oval ports and the peanut ports. A regular oval port intake will work on a peanut port head, just half of the port is covered because of how small the ports are. Peanut ports were used 1985 and later. You can find out...

    Stop Leak In Radiator

    Removed the thermostat and heater hoses, flushed backwards and forwards, this is what came out of the first 2 cups of water on the backflush. I'm soaking in a light solution of water/vinegar and will reflush in a couple of hours. So far no leaks inside which is a very good sign and water appears...

    Stop Leak In Radiator

    Thanks for the info all. Good stuff. I'm also thinking changing the intake may have contributed, even tho I covered the ports. Hard to get it 100% clean in the backyard.

    Stop Leak In Radiator

    That's basically what I'm going to try. I've heard sometimes it works sometimes not. What may help is the radiator is relatively new, just the heater core appears to be plugged.

    Stop Leak In Radiator

    Yeah it's a BBC but probably around that pressure. I was going to put a valve on one end to fluctuate the stream but on 2nd thought I don't think I will. Too much of a chance of over pressurizeing the core.

    Stop Leak In Radiator

    Don't know Rusty, I'll let you know. Do you miss a lot? Once this rain/ snow stops I'll try the flush and see how much stopleak is actually in there.

    Yep, run the pressure both ways. I almost have enough beer i think...

    Stop Leak In Radiator

    Thanks. It isn't possible, too far and not enough hoses. I read online that a 50-50 mix of white vinegar and water loosens calcium but also read that it damages joints and there is no info on stop leak removal. I'm going to go easiest first, drain, remove thermostat, then backflush heater core...

    Stop Leak In Radiator

    The heater core seems to be plugged up after replacing the intake manifold. The truck had stop leak in it when I bought it and I added some to get it home due to a leak at the heater hose inlet. I'm going to try to back flush but has anyone successfully gotten stop leak out of a heater core and...

    Q jet rear vacuum break diaphragm linkage

    Ok, learned that simple isn't in the cards, no way to see or even feel where this goes when carb is installed. I found out that when I re-piped the heat tubes (I changed from a high rise to the stock manifold) one pressed on the linkage and when the linkage moved pushed it out. Installation...

    Q jet rear vacuum break diaphragm linkage

    Thanks for the reply but it's the other end of the link that's out. That pic is prior to removal and rebuild just to show the linkage had been disconnected for some reason. I put it all back. Gonna get a mirror and lots of light, stand on my head and see if I can get it back. If not it's remove...

    Q jet rear vacuum break diaphragm linkage

    When I pulled the carb for a rebuild I noticed this linkage was not connected at the diaphragm (see attached pic), I rebuilt it and reassembled it with the linkage connected to the cam follower under the thermostatic coil in the only hole possible. It just fell out of the cam follower and is no...
