Got it. Sweet looking 78, 78fj40 by the way.

Ok Brian.

I am going to remove my radiator and replace it with a new one after the old had an obvious blow out. I pulled over, let it cool, and filled with water before nursing it home to watch the outpouring continue. My question is: Do I need to block the inlet and outlet to the motor or any other lines...

That is awesome detail Vossie!

Thank you! I'll follow up on that groove.
