Yes, with all your spare time, you should do that. Post drawing.
You DO realize; you replied (in post #7) to the very same post (#6) that you "must have missed it", by quoting it! So you had the time to read it (and reply w/a quote)...but you didn't actually read it. Same comprehension issues you had in another thread. What ever the reason/excuse...who f'n cares?? Not me.
As you were man...back to your train ride.

As to comprehension issues, if you want to dig that bone up again from the other thread that you kept editing as you go along for "better understanding" or "clarification" or whatever it is you call it, you need more "clarification" aka editing since it still looks like you opened your trap and risked pissing him off for ZERO gain since you still had to go in. Sure, you and him became pals, had beer or coffee, got on each other's X'mas card list or whatever but it didn't negate the fact that the cop didn't leave WITHOUT ISSUING A TICKET. Perhaps more editing is needed to make things more clear?
No, done with that ride. Been a long couple of days and it is work related so no choice. He wants a ride to wherever, we try to comply. Work is work. That is why it pays. IF you can't understand that part, again, I'll try remember it for tomorrow when I can ask someone to draw pictures. I have no artistic abilities so it will depend on whether she can help me or not. I am hopeful since she teaches grade school and is used to drawing pictures to explain things, I assume. IDK. Never wanted kids or had them (knock on wood).

Thanks for the reply's. I ended up purchasing a stock replacement. It seems to make sense since the first one lasted 30 years. Time permitting, I will attempt to install it along with a new thermostat and a complete z51 hose kit this weekend. I'm not a mechanic by trade so wish me luck!!

If by stock replacement you mean NOS or Delco made to the same spec as original, that is a reasonable assumption. If by stock replacement you mean Autozone "it should able to fit" that is a different story

Where is the beer kit? You can't start working on stuff without something like that.

I recommend cutting the radiator shroud with a dremel around the AC Lines on the passenger side, so you don't need to open the AC system. You'll see what I mean when you get in there. Obviously don't do this if you want to keep it 100% stock. You can also order the correct coolant on Amazon, and use Distilled water to fill it up, not tap water. Sorry if this has already been mentioned.
