I have an 87 iroc 305 carb engine and below the distribtor cap and off to the side a little bit there is a little rubber casket or stopper and it is torn a little bit and radator fluid is squirting out of it

Can someone please tell me what this is and cheapest and easyest way to fix.

 

Can you get us a pic?

 

sorry could not get my camara in well enough to get a good pic but hopfully u can tell by the location, it is just a tiny rubber peice that sticks out

 

What rubber piece? Looks like it's leaking from a NPT port on the rear water passage. Is there some kind of sensor or thermal switch in there? Hard to see.

 

maybe this will be easyer if you cant tell were pics are at

 

there is a little rub peice that sticks up like maybe and inch and less then half inch in diamater between those 2 bolts

 

Probably a npt to hose fitting w/ a cap over it? There is no gasket there, the 2 bolts are situated around the rear coolant port.

 

how would i go about getting a new one and replaceing it

 

If it's a npt to hose adapter, it screws out. If it's a switch or sensor that broke off, it too screws out.

 

looks like it was annpt to hose adapter that was overed. on my next day off i will have to run to the store and pic up a cover.

Thanks alot man

 

look at the tear down the side lol

 

I'm just trying to figure out what the heck is/was there. Never seen a coolant anything on top of th rear of the intake. Should be a manifold vacuum tree back there, and there is a hole on top of the china wall that is usually either plugged or has an oil pressure sending unit attached.

 

On some cars the heater is connected to that port. Plugging it off w/ a rubber cap like that is asking for trouble. Get an NPT plug
