Re: My Latest Toy - 72 K5 Blazer CST

Replaced the header gaskets today but didn't have chance to road test it. One of the trans cooler lines is leaking. When I started it up after the leaks were fixed, it blowed out all kinds of stuff from the exhaust. Including pecans, acorns, fibers and even a live mouse. Evicted! No pics but it's still on the lift. I'm going to replace the 3 bolt header flange with the newer ball style. I'll snap a few under the Blazer then.
