Yes it seems to go into coolant. When I tried to full up on coolant in came out of that hole. Only problem for me it whatever was there is missing. I tried to put in a 3 1/2" 3/8 24 thread bolt, but it is not wide enough. I'm seeing sleaves on some websites, what's that all about, is that what I need?
Ok, maybe someone must have changed those studs then. I took off one of the nuts from one of the studs and it matched for a 3/8 24. If you look up this part on Classic Industries mp700170, That sleave does say its a 3/8 24. I will have to keep looking.
Yup, there is no stud.
Ok, now I get what your saying. Now I have to find that bolt, I know Autozone only has 3/8 16 and 3/8 24 and not 18.
Sorry, 3/8ths x 16 !!! I read Don's post and got 18 in my head!
I was going crazy trying to find an 18. You think 4" is too long? Autozone does have them.
The 4” was too long, gonna have to get a shorter one tomorrow. It did stop the leak, so I’m god to go for now. Let me ask you something else. The owner before died young and I bought it from the estate. He didn’t finish allot of stuff. He left two wires disconnected from the alternator. A pink one and a green one. Where does the pink one go? I would show you a picture, but when I try and download it, for some real it’s saying it’s too big.
That’s what I figured. He put an Edelbrock intake and had no place to put it. I connected the green wire to the field on the alternator and it’s still not charging. Gonna change that too. The car sat for years.
Sorry. There's coarse and fine thread for SAE fasteners.
