Doing an intake manifold gasket this weekend on my 307 - previous owner put the fuel filter in backwards and the part that holds it was loose (not even finger tight). Not sure how it even ran and didnt leak haha.

Just did this on a 1990 Cadillac broham, nightmare job. I didn't use a punch or silicone, I tucked the gasket in with my fingers after setting the gasket on the head then putting the valve cover over top of it. Also used a pick to align the holes. Anytime I've used silicone on rubber gaskets they leak. Learned that as an independent/dealer tech.

First make sure you are using correct size and fit as old starter. Did the old one have shims? Second check the power wire coming from battery and make sure you are getting 12v. If you are, it’s probably a bad solenoid. Remove starter and bench test or take it to auto parts store so they can check it. If bad get another and have them test it before taking it home

Yeah it aint goin nowhere with a nice heavy duty chain on it. Get a threaded link lock and try to get 6 but at least 5 of the coils making an a X with the chain. While you lift the car up by the control arm and compress the coil fully. Obviously make sure you have another jack under the car as when you tie the chains and start to slowly lower the jack underneath the control arm it will need to come down on the second jack. I have removed countrless coils this way doing suspension repairs and replacements as a collision tech. Dont use flimsy chqins though. Heavy duty chain from home depot can withstand far more pressure than that coil can exert. So fear not just make sure you tie it properly.

10 flushes ? I hope not. My coolant in the 77 Eldo looks like 5 right now and the car sat 22 years. I drove it home with heat on, not knowing heater core might be shot. After I got it home, I found out, The radiator took 2 gallons of coolant ! Total system holds 6 gallons. Radiator has heavy scale on the tubes. Vinegar ? CLR, IDK yet. Doing the bumper fillers and paint. If it looks better, it will fit in better with my neighbors.

@@DanTheManIOM I wouldnt know. As far as I know stop leak was never used on the old radiator in the 72 cutlass. There was what appeared calcium buildup of sorts in coolant passages of intake manifold before system was flushed. Could a stop leak have contributed to the buildup perhaps, but It was put in by me and the car sat for so long I dont really know what it was.

@@oldsguysgarage from sitting and tap water, I think we get calcium carbonate deposits.

I don't care, it;s flush it out, brownish coolant and rusty bits, vinegar sitting in there now, in the radiator. I'll let it sit as I work on other things on teh car maybe in a few days, start it up and let it circulate to clean it, drop it out, and refill and test it, that is the plan, FWIW.

Easier and SAFER way of doing it - attach the spindle and DO NOT attach the lower arm back bolts leaving the back FREE. Put the jack on the arm between the bushing holes and lift the back of the lower arm up to the holes and insert bolts. NO SPRING COMPRESSOR NECESSARY. Much safer because the spindle/brake shield will be there to protect it from coming out. This way too you can adjust the fully stretched spring into the correct position and THEN lift up the lower control arm. Been doing it that way for GM products for yrs. 1 more thing - use a block of wood on the jack cup and it will protect your paint job AND the part from being damaged. Just My 2cents...

Did you put the lower saddles on the seam of the radiator? I have the same radiator and they didn't fit it right during the swap so they left the top plate off. Original saddles will work on the core side of the seam but I dont think they want them there. I bought new 4 core radiator top plate because that is what is available. It seems to be too much of a gap from the mount holes. Radiator is not sitting up and down level.

Sorry to hear about the issue, hope it ends up working out. Yes, I put the seam of radiator on the stock saddles that are used with the larger core radiator. The radiator may have sat a little higher raising the top plate. Yes, I also used the 4 core radiator top plate. Let me know how it works out, i did not have a problem attaching top cap if that is the mount holes your are referring to.
