cooling hose divider, good-bad-junk

[bob02]

I think John has nailed it. Recycle and reuse. Did that JB hack 20+ years ago and still holding strong. Cost= 5 bucks and 15 minutes total to mix, apply then sand all nicey the next day. Just another part of the old car hobby.

Yes- so much this. 

 

Don't get so bogged down in the details that you never finish.

Don't spend so much time and money on it that you're afraid to drive it.

Wisdom. Good Habits.

 

And as Toby always says, good habits are fun! 🤩

Side note --  Make sure the flange on the divider that's shared with the intake manifold is the same thickness as the one on the manifold.  Otherwise the thick washer that spans the joint will not clamp them evenly.  You can either shorten the tall one, or put a step on the underside of a washer to make up the difference.

Pic of the thick washer. Don't use a thin one...they tend to leak for some reason.

Don't forget to use the plastic insulating bushings on the fuel pump studs.  They take up the slack in the otherwise sloppy holes; assuring that the push rod is properly aligned.  Part #5.

Yes, I know mine are missing. 

I ordered these from Autohaus AZ last year, but only received 1 bushing. Web site says only 1 /car, so I assumed (wrong) that you get two bushings per pack. 

It's on my "to do" list ... along with getting my engine put back together!

Tech71, if you have a good used spare message me please. 

Yeah, my bad sorry. I have only located a couple as in 2, but need to hang on to both.
