3b engine

I have a 1985 BJ60 that came with a very strange addition to the cooling system. The rear heater in this car was disconnected for some unknown reason (not leaking or clogged) by one of the previous owners and I wanted to reconnect it again. However, when I attempted to do this, I became...
