Talking new parts

Well finally ordered the last few pieces to get going on my car i think. Ordered my adapter to get the sender for the water temp gauge in my head, and the pigtail to hook up my air/fuel (more looks than anything). Got the yank converter sitting on my floor w/cooler waiting to go in I'm psyched!!! The onlything im dreading is the mess of coolant doing the water temp gauge If i drain as much as i can from the radiator? How bad is it going to come out of the head on me? Another stupid question, when i do the tranny temp gauge i just pull out the plug and put in the sender? any tranny fluid going to come out? Thanks!

draining the radiator isnt nessesery, the block is full, it wont be to bad if you can pull it out, and plug the new one in fast. the worst part about it, is the shitty smell of the new coolant. lol need be, i will make another **** pan to put under the car so it dont make a mess. lol

tranny one i need to see, but i believe it may drip out a little but wont poor out.

i'll hook a brother up. no worries

you going riding thursday????? you better you sissy boy.

take the rad cap off,squeeze the upper hose and hold it then put the cap back on,there for this will create a vacume effect on the cooling system so when you pull the sender out it will give you more time
