It very well could have come loose. That sounds right by my memory.

Yee Haw!!! Your hard work and love is very evident in the pictures.

Good deal ...and with your small block, you now have a little (or a lot!) more getup and go to help you stay safer while daily driving!!

When I did my 5.9 swap 4-5 years ago, I had a slow drip from the 90⁰ adapter onto the header. I shoehorned an adjustable wrench (I know, I know...but sometimes...) in just enough to give it snug and stop the drip. Nothing since.

That's good old fashioned Hot Roddin'. Nice work! I haven't run across a starter not retracting far enough at first but anything is possible on these ole girls!

Practice make perfect!! Hey, it's called a dental practice, right??

Yup, those brackets are way to sharp edged from the factory. Nice work rounding them.

Sweet! Especially the humidity!!

The house we recently bought has a Google Nest Learning Thermostat. At first, I was leary but I love it. It didn't take it long to learn our thermostat habits. Now we hardly touch it and it dies what we want!!!

Nice work! It was a huge planned project and you got most of it done.

Lots of work!!! Looks great. If you have an Edelbrock carburetor try moving the pump lever to the hole closest to the carburetor. That may help with the stumble.

Love the carpet and headliner color. What color are you doing the seats?

Condolences on the loss of your son. He is a hero. "Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends." Thanks for sharing pictures of your son and his car. It is beautiful. I love the color.

They left room for the sheetrock?

Merry Christmas!!! Like you said, you're getting good at removing and replacing the intake!!! That's a good thing. A quart low should not hurt anything. I think you'll be fine after replacing the lifter and intake gasket. Use plenty of Right Stuff or your flavor of sealant. Put it back...

Happy Thanksgiving! You really got at it!

No problem with that oil pressure. When at operating temperature mine runs 20ish at idle and just under 60 at 55 mph. They all take a second or two to work up to full reading.

Lol...money goes quick on our ole girls. When I say to my wife, "next I need to buy...." at first she would ask "how much is that?", but now she just says "yeah, I know, $200." You got a great deal on that for $120 shipped.

The Commando air cleaner is my all time favorite air cleaner.

She does look good!! Dang, a year already...time Flys when you're having fun!!

Yup, all of them are ****. If you still have the original one, send it out for a rebuild. I track my mileage on the trip meter and fill up when needed. My fuel gauge works just like @Dana67Dart gauge works, LOL.

Here's what I found when I cracked mine open!

You can flush it in the car. Thete is a petcock on the bottom of the radiator to drain it, and a drain on the lower side of the block to drain the block. There's a lot of different ways to flush. Here's a video Advance Auto Parts put out using a flush kit that comes withinstructions. You'll...

Yep, green coolant 50/50. That's good for your winters and summers. Great suggestion on getting a quote from your local shop. Griffin Radiator makes exact fit units. Expensive but worth it. I've heard a lot horror stories about aftermarket radiators not fitting well or needing lots of...

The corrosion is not uncommon for a car that old. If you can find an old school radiator shop, they could "rod" it out or just hot tank it if they think rodding it could damage it. If the engine is not running hot, I would leave it.

Good deal. I always feel like the engine thanks us for new filters! I don't recall ever seeing a slanted radiator neck. As long as it doesn't leak you're good. The hose is for overflow. Keep in mind, these cars were meant to have radiator fluid (coolant, water, etc) about an inch or inch...

The advice on double checking for an exhaust leak is good. Definitely make sure before tearing into your engine.

Georgia also allows it. We have to keep a "regular" plate in the car with a sticker on it. But it doesn't have to be visible. I have mine in a folder under the seat with the Chrysler Historical documents that I put out at car shows.
