my fish is wet :(

I got them on with vice grips but while buying the new T-stat housing at napa I picked up the correct pliers for the clamps. They have a groove for the tabs and lock to keep the clamps open while your installing them. I tried moving the clamps with the pliers closer towards the "buldge" flared end of the heater core housing as a buddy down here told me to do but it still leaked. It does bum me out, those clamps looked a hellofa lot better than the worm gears, its those little things like that make a car look good. I try to keep stuff pretty under the hood ;)

Haha, thanks Badsport . . . it was funny the punk guy almost broke his axles with wheel hop the first go from a light and then missed 2nd really bad. Then came casing me down afterwards like a rice-burner so I just stomped on the 360 and . . . .goooooodbyeeeee . . . . it was a real flash back to the highschool days cruising around Gratiot and trying to time the lights juuuuuust right so you line up with whoever you're playing around with. That was back in my old turbo dodge days- with my 1987 daytona shelby Z- ran a 2.5 turbo/intercooled, 20psi. It freaked people out cuz I had the ceramic 4 puck clutch and you could light em up going 50 just by throwing her in 2nd and side stepping the clutch at redline. That was the first car I dragged, one of those "wish I hadn't sold it" cars. Sure was a heck of a ride for only 150 cubes under the hood.
