on the 302, i am trying to put a new t-stat in but everytime i finally get it in it leaks. it's a Coolflex radiator hose that connects to the manifold and when i took it off intially there was just this o-ring.
the o-ring doesn't appear to be in bad condition, is there something i am missing? i tried running it with the regular 302 paper gasket and the o-ring, but that leaked too.
any ideas? also any tricks to getting that damned t-stat lined up/in the right position or just alot of swearing etc?
