hello,

I have two questions about my 216 motor.

1) I popped off the valve cover to replace the gasket and found this tyoe of cross over tube that is not really secure in its installation. What is it exactly and how is it supposed to be installed? I can't imagine it is supposed to be rattling in there with the rockers and what not.

2) what is in the picture mounted on the front of the engine with the Radiator hose coming out of it?

Thanks for all the help! I am trying to get this all original truck to run and drive on its own power, well just for fun really. I distraction from my main project.

I hate when people leave their brains at home. Seriously when did critical thinking and customer service go out the window? How about common sense and striving to go the extra mile? Idiots, surrounded by idiots it tell you.
