Re: 1972 blazer build/driver

for those wondering why its on the trailer in the last pic, i was having some car troubles to say the least.. i was getting ready to go to the lake, put radiator fluid in, and didnt twist the radiator cap on all the way... (STUPID mistake) drove about 50 miles, and it overheated. i wasnt paying attention to my temp gauge (another REALLY stupid mistake) the needle was buried when i got to the lake. so we flushed the radiator out, and what we thought was oil came back out. so we figured either a gasket got moved or the block cracked, so we went home got the trailer and trailered it home. well while we messed with it, cleaned the radiator out, and there was no more black in it. turns out the radiator was just really filthy. ive been driving it the same as before, and so far nothings gone wrong that ive noticed except for the exhaust leak on the right manifold has gotten worse.
