Not the case with my car, I've bought both styles from NPD, and they fit like a glove. I had the straight chrome one, but didn't like that I had to take it off to do any distributor work. So I bought the curved black one, which is easier to maintain, and it made changing plug wires a breeze. :nice:

You don't need to replace the housing, just the t-stat. Did you check the bottom hose? It could be the problem. As far as changing the t-stat, just put the big round part (sensor) down (inside the block), and the bell looking part (top) should be exposed until you remout the housing. Buy a...

NPD has those too, they are 20 gallon vs our 16 gallon. Just add 40 more bucks to the total.

NPD has tanks w/drain plug for 100 bucks.

I totally agree with that statement. Very informative story also, I think they will be impressed.:nice:

"Get rid of it!" I hear that a lot too. I always joke with her about the car would be a LOT harder to replace than she would. :rolleyes:

Check your OTHER post. Sometimes it takes a little while before someone can give you an answer to your questions, so have a little patience. :)

Do you mean the engine smokes, or the radiator spews steam out somewhere. Check your lower hose and see if it is really soft to squeeze together. If so, toss it and get one with a spring in it, the old one is probably collapsing in on itself after the engine starts to pull the coolant through it.

It's normal. As long as it's just drips, and don't have coolant in it.

My car is sitting too, and I had the same problem, but I soaked the crap out of it with bug spray. I don't want to be cruising along and feel the poison of a Black Widow going through my body. I tried spraying it off with water but they were back the very next day. I don't hate them, just don't...

:shrug: I'm confused here, but that's nothing new. Can you explain or post a pic of what you are doing, exactly. Thanks

:nice: Looking good.

I think it's more the box, and you can check with National Parts Depot for one.

Try them first, one of mine came out so easy I thought it was going to be a breeze. Boy was I wrong. Sawzall did the other, but not without a 6 hour fight. Luck

:( OK, I guess I screwed the pooch on this one. Sorry about that, didn't mean no harm.

I got my spring going toward the front, simply because if the linkage comes loose, it goes to idle instead of WOT.

That's my intention too.

I'm in :p.

How did you set the timing this time???

I think both ideas are good.
