Thats interesting, that in Europe you are messing around with an old chevy truck. In the US people still love the square bodies 73-87. I have had 4 daily drivers that were square bodies. An 82 3/4 ton, an 82 half ton, an 81 3/4 ton and an 86 4wd. I really like those trucks.
@@davidcraft4909 I like old American cars. They have their charm. I often traveled in Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia on the C10. I like Chevrolet better than Ford. C10 is not very common here, there are a lot of old US passenger cars. I repaired it all by myself for four years. Now the work is over and I can drive.) ruclips.net/video/v8-3m8FMPq4/видео.html
Great video. No nonsense. Just what we need to do the job. A lot of You Tubers want attention, but the reason we watch is to see if we can do it or have to send it to the shop. Will give it a try on my 68 Chevelle with the 307 engine. Thank you sir.
Another way to help get the coolant out without spilling it is using a siphon starting from the radiator cap and then remove the upper radiator hose from the radiator and run the siphon tube down to the thermostat housing and then when you remove the upper radiator hose from the thermostat housing, less coolant spills.
That is probably the professional way to do it by the book and that's good. But if you don't have nothing to siphon it with then, in the video I just showed me removing the intake without a drop of water spilling. Well you did say another way of doing it.... so yeah, at least you didn't say my way doesn't work lol. but yeah I agree maybe the more professional way is to suck the water out with something. Either way the unprofessional way is to just take it off and spill coolant into your engine.
I just removed my carburetor and there are 4 bolts sticking out of the intake manifold pointing upwards where the carb gets attached to. How do I take these out? On of them broke, how do I take that one out?
@scoobydooby6180 I would have to see it to give the best advice. But if it's broken flush, then drill a small hole in it, and use a bolt extractor. Or weld a nut to it if possible. Or drill it out and use a heli-coil.
@@davidcraft4909 for sure, thank you. I think it won’t matter much in the end because I’m deciding to go through with switch the intake manifold so that’ll just fix the issue right then and there
Super illustrative video. Cheyenne c10 1978 350. I'm from Europe so only good videos can help me with the repair. Thank you

I have a shop vac just for this purpose, and yes it’s clean and just used for anti- freeze.

If you drain the radiator there really should not be an issue with coolant leaking.
@acharyajamesoermannspeaker6563 if all you do is drain the radiator, you will spill coolant into your engine.
Headers on a 2bbl card? Upper radiator flex hose??
thanks for watching
did you drain any water out first?
Yes
