Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

      Follow the lower radiator hose to the engine block. It's on the side near the back, kindabelow the intake manifold. The intake will need to be removed for easy access, and I removed my distributor. Just make sure you make alignment marks on the distributor so It goes back where it was easy.

      Two bolts hold the thermostat housing on, and you might have to unplug and remove the coolant temp sensor to get to one of the bolts, I can't remember.

      It's basically a process of removing items so you can remove 2 bolts and replace the thermostat.

          Why in the world would you take the dizzy off?

          All you have to do is take off the intake tube and take out the two bolts.
          wat?

              x2 on replacing the seal. Mine fell off and I didn't notice. It wasn't a good thing.

                  Because my coolant temp sensor was replaced too, and I removed and installed it with the thermostat housing in place, so I'd have more leverage on it. I like having enough room to easily work tools around, so I removed the dizzy, it's only 3 bolts.

                    Some suggestions:

                    1) Might as well change the coolant
                    2) If u gonna mix, use Distilled water.
                    3) let the air out after u flush the radiator, theres a relieve bolt next to where u change the thermostat near the tranny.
