Working on cars I can't afford
hey all,
My 80 blew it's head gasket last night so I've started ordering parts that I think I need. I ordered a head gasket kit / valving kit from cruiser parts as well as the distributor o-ring. Are there any other gaskets or o-rings that I need to order separately? Also, the long coolant pipe that runs down the exhaust side of the engine, does anyone know what that's called and where to find a replacement? Mine is very rusty and looks like it might fail soon. Also also, does anyone know where to get replacement exhaust manifolds and hardware? Mine are rusted badly enough that the heat shields have started to come off and I'm not sure how successful I'll be at removing the studs. Thanks for the help!
