I'm going through a 55 2nd series Chevy pick up with a 235 inline 6. I have never had a vehicle with this engine, basically all totally new to me. Today, I removed the throttle pivot stud from the block and coolant started pouring out of the hole.
Is the hole for this pivot factory drilled and threaded all the way into the coolant jacket or do I have a big problem?
Thanks in advance for help.

I was getting a little nervous about it!
Much for me to learn about these engines.

I've been searching but haven't been able to find a company. I'd prefer to buy a new one but will try to repair it if they are not available.
