    70 318 rear freeze plug passenger rear head blew out need install help.

    I am going to do the rubber for now and source 340 heads for a winter project. I pulled the heads on my 1972 Olds 98 455 in 1977 so I think I can do it on a LA.

    70 318 rear freeze plug passenger rear head blew out need install help.

    I understand "install dry" so I should drain coolant below this level and blow out with compressed air and dry out with a hair dryer and, for days after sitting? It has pumped out a lot of coolant (2nd time She has bled out in front of me, same mechanic failed to tighten a transmission hose...

    70 318 rear freeze plug passenger rear head blew out need install help.

    This makes perfect sense to me 69bee, thanks! If I am going to pull the intake and one head, I am going to source 340 heads to reinstall. And I will always remember your comments about steel plugs and

    70 318 rear freeze plug passenger rear head blew out need install help.

    "Thinking he put in the wrong diameter plug if they're new and it blew out", possible but I bought all the plugs from Summit or Jegs, I think, All were replaced (to avoid this exact problem) before engine install. I suspect mechanic I paid did a bad job but it could have been a bad plug...

    70 318 rear freeze plug passenger rear head blew out need install help.

    I will have to have the cap checked, it came with the new 4 row aluminum radiator (from Amazon) for a reasonable $230.00 price, bolted right in.

    70 318 rear freeze plug passenger rear head blew out need install help.

    I have thought about the rubber plug but I thought it was only of temporary use? Like to get you home from a road trip one time? thoughts about a rubber plug for spring cruising? been a 2 year project, I would love to finally get a spring cruise out of her?

    70 318 rear freeze plug passenger rear head blew out need install help.

    I blew out the freeze plug at the back of the passenger head facing the firewall, maybe 2+ inches of clearance, somebody please tell me a way to insert a new plug without removing the head. 69 Charger 318 in a 1970 Satellite. I had a mechanic put in new, gold looking, plugs from Summit or Jegs...

    I brought home a SatellBird

    I have fought with myself to make this more restomod or stick to what the Factory offered. (I thought a black body with gold wire rims, no scoops, no decals for a cleaner look would be great.) In the end I always came back to Factory offerings. (Not all complete yet) But when it came to...

    1970 Satellite was single chamber now dual still need proportioning valve?

    Thanks, my memory says single but my memory is not that good :) Old mechanic disposed of it, after I asked him to return all parts.

    1970 Satellite was single chamber now dual still need proportioning valve?

    I am just buying parts for my mechanic to do rear drum brakes, I am a bit out of my league here. Originally a 70 Satellite with a single chamber manual front drum rear drum has had front discs and a dual chamber booster conversion. Question 1) Is the proportioning valve still needed or even...

    I brought home a SatellBird

    Yes, I cut another corner and only used skins, Only low quality skins were available at the time because of shortages or whatnot. Fought to keep this affordable, white primer to make the 71 B5 blue pop more, one of the few diversions from factory correct. The Chrome Rallye wheels were another...

    I brought home a SatellBird

    I like the seats, they bolted into the outer bench seat holes perfectly (B-body), but the inners had to be drilled, I think that is why they have some bad reviews about hole fitment. Since my car came with a bench and I put in buckets, that is not the fault of Procar. They are comfortable...
