Coolant Problem-Easy Fix
Guys
I just swapped in a 350 into my 87 TA. I put in coolant tonight and noticed it was running out of the drivers side head. Is this a drain hole and should I have a plug here? Knock is on the opposite side. Its the L98 block FYI
Thanks for any help!

I will post pics when I get over to the car tomorrow. In Twin_Turbo's thread here, look in the 154th post, second picture down. Its the same spot where he has that bolt (in the head). Here is the link:

Re: Coolant Problem-Easy Fix
OK. I put in the coolant temp sensor. Now I cannot find the connector that goes into it. Anyone have a pic of where the connector is coming from? Also, anyone have a pic of where the temp sensor from the bottom of the intake goes into?
I appreciate the help so far.

Re: Coolant Problem-Easy Fix
The connector for the head is in the same loom as the O2 sensor connector.
The IAT connector comes out of the large loom that runs behind the engine from side to side. Sorry no pics. My car's not here.
