    10-12 The two passages you referred to on the manifold were originally for the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) No Water. Small Block Chevy heads have water passages at each end and the manifold blocks two of the four that are cast into the heads making them interchangeable from side to side. Hugsssssssssssss you TWO !

It was bare bones but he did everything I asked him to do....except drive in snow...it was not a winter truck. Glad to see you guys back at it and looking forward going along on the adventures.

    Vortec heads only have 8 vertical bolts. The center bolts don't exist. TBI / swirl port and later TPI heads have the different angle center bolts to clear the Intake for install/removal. But if the Intake bolts all go in at the same angle they are old school sbc heads. You can usually check SBC head casting numbers by pulling the oil cap and shine a light in there.

    I have noticed some changes in the channel. The main one is you guys are more chill. And I like it.
    Most home shop mechanics don't like rushing around doing jobs to some artificial deadline. We enjoy the activity and art of wrenching. And so do you. I like it. You guys are smooth.
    Getting an engine started after it has been non running for awhile is sometimes a battle.
    But if everything is right it must run. There are just lots of things to get right.

    I’ve got a 72 Chevy C-20 Deluxe that was our dads until we got old enough to drive and he had got a new truck. My twin brother and I always got parts for it that were brand new we would both get a left or right piece since I’m a twin. I was injured in the line of duty and am a medically retired law enforcement officer in Arkansas, been here all my life, and he said to both my twin brother and I that he was going to help us restore it when it cooled down, we only had a month left till it got cooler outside, (you know how this Arkansas heat is). He ended up being killed in 2014 a month short of us building it together as a father and his two sons. We’ve still got all the parts to completely restore it. All still new in the box. We’d built it for street/strip back when we were in high school, and I’ve always had my ASE MASTER TECH certification and always worked on new and old things that had any form of engine, and I’m currently trying to drag my twin brother off a car we bought and built to drag race, he thinks the Camaro is cooler, and I love all the extras this truck came with on the Deluxe package and add ons listed on the RPO in the glove box. I finally dragged it up to the house close to the shop so I can start working on it. My welder and all my other tools are there, it’s just not the same without dad; or even my brother helping. I’ve so far taken the bed off, and gives me access to all the suspension parts I need to replace and makes it easier to work on the cab also. Love your videos. Wish you were a little closer and I’d come see Garfield. I’m in Arkansas but from the videos I’ve captured you were from another state. I need me some sponsors like you. Shoot I could use some good tools😂 keep up the good work, can’t wait to see more of Garfield

    I would pull a valve cover and see exactly what head you have. They arent Vortec heads and unless it’s a really early ZZ engine it should have had aluminum L98 heads. Also those little ports in the intake are EGR passages so it would be exhaust and not coolant there.

  • @theenginist5255
    @theenginist5255 Рік тому +1

    The heads you have on that engine are TP Heads OrI Another name GM used for them is fast burn heads If they were vortex they would have no Center bolts only straight bolts on the ends To clarify Vortex heads use 8 intake bolts only The ports you pointed out on the intake are for the EGR passage not water Hopefully this helps I have been in AC certified master technician sends 1988 I love watching your videos you guys are awesome you're not afraid to try .Which I believe is a character flowing a lot of people they're afraid to try They believe it's impossible or they can't We are all human being We all have roughly the same abilities and intelligence And if you believe you can then you can Again I enjoy the videos keep up the good work and I'm happy you guys are back in the Shop Hope to see you on power tour I'll be driving a freshly resword C10 A talent green With a big block And a tunnel ram

    The easy way to set up timing is as follows: rotate the crankshaft until the rotor button points to the first cylinder on the compression stroke. Then wind it back about 10° before top dead centre, mark is on edge of harmonic balancer. Then loosen the distributor, and with th key on, move the distributor slowly until the points spark... key off, then tighten distributor. Your car is set to idle give or take a few degrees....
