Was a cold but good day today. Put new gaskets on the carb, the new coil arrived from YT, and I installed a new manifold on my 1947 8N w/front dist. Had one surprise.
When I removed the nuts from the old manifold, three were nuts only. The 4th was a bolt with two lock washers. The surprise was that WATER / ANTIFREEZE came pouring out of the hole in the block!
Should I have expected fluid to come out of that 4th hole? It is the hole nearest the radiator. I think it emptied the amount of fluid contained in the upper radiator hose.
Any thoughts (hoping for no bad news)!
