I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that the p.o. had that K5 set up to run on propane??

I'd throw a nice bronze pipe plug on the top pump outlet and roll.


by the way, nice GM heater hoses! you need to pick up the original type hose clamps..... Classic Enterprises $20
Well propane changes my anwer, IIRC there should be a regulater that was mounted somewhere, and that is why he has an extra hose to the water jackets on the block.

Thanks for pointing out the GM hoses, missed that
