If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's an electrical problem

You need to read up on your Chevy history. Now that weβre all stuck at home would be a good time to do some serious studying.Γ°ΕΈβΊΒ

To me, a stovebolt fastener is flat on top and takes a flat blade screwdriver.
What was the last Chevrolet engine which actually had stovebolts on them?

| | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 2,193 Insomniac | | Insomniac Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 2,193 | I mentioned the engine since the hoses on the 235 and 261 are different. The 261 has a bypass hose.
Didn't mean to create a fuss.

The clamp is shown Here. It's the thing that's kind of bird shaped (wings). [on edit]Hmmm. Looked at the accessory manual listed and they don't show the hoses routed over to the inner fender.  I would think that would be a better routing to keep the hoses away from most of the engine, but apparently Chevy didn't think it was necessary. I wonder why they put those grooves there (and the double hose clamp).
