Boom

It's always bad when you see smoke coming out of your hood.


I was driving my '62 GMC the other day and just about when I was two blocks from my house, I saw smoke. I knew something went wrong with thhe cooling system, and hurried back. Once I popped open the hood I hoped for the best. I noticed the water outlet on the 305cid V-6 engine blew a hole and spilled out all my antifreeze. Ok, I found my problem, now its time to fix it. Yeah, I found out real quick that none of the big chain auto stores carry this part. So i made my way to the local salvage yard and pulled one off another 305. It aint looking that great, but I cleaned it up and hope that it will hold. We'll see what happens next.
