after getting everything back together, and putting coolant in the radiator, coolant started spilling out the passenger side of the block. I felt around and realized that there was a fitting missing under the intake. Its on hte bottom side in the middle of the intake and some where in the break down and re-build i must have misplaced that part, (and yes, thats the only thing i was missing ) So i was wondering what it is and where it connects to. Oh and i know its just like the heater outlet pipe and inlet pipe. thanks in advance.

--edit-- 88 pickup 22RE

 

What engine?

 

crap, i always forget that, yeah sorry, 88 pickup 22RE

 

ok found it. It was a heater pipe, like i was thinking, only it comes into the engine bay on the drivers side and was sitting there, i had completely forgot about it, and i went and checked and it should fit. Granted, i'm going to have a time now trying to get it back under the intake with the engine all back together.
