GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A pressure cooling system is provided for on all
models by a pressure type radiator cap (fig. 1). The
pressure type radiator cap used is designed to hold a
pressure above atmospheric pressure in the cooling
system. Excessive pressure is relieved by a valve within
the cap that opens to radiator overflow.
The water pump is a ball bearing, centrifugal vane
impeller type. It requires no care other than to make
certain the air vent at the top of the housing and the drain
holes in the bottom do not become plugged with dirt or
grease. Removal and installation of the water pump is
covered in this section. For overhaul procedures of the
water pump refer to Section 6K of the Passenger Chassis
Overhaul Manual.
For radiator, refer to Section 13 of this manual For
radiator shroud, refer to Section 11 of this manual.

I—Pressure Radiator Cap
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Coolant Level
The radiator coolant level should only be checked when
the engine is cool, particularly on cars equipped with air
conditioning. If the radiator cap is removed from a hot
cooling system, serious personal injury may result
The cooling system fluid level should be maintained
one inch below the bottom of the filler neck of the radia-
tor when cooling system is cold, or at the bottom of the
filler neck when the system is warm. It is very impor-
tant that the correct fluid level be maintained. The seal-
ing ability of the radiator cap is affected when the cooling
level is too high.
All passenger car cooling systems are pressurized
with a pressure cap which permits safe engine operation
at cooling temperatures of
up
to 247°F.
When the radiator cap is removed or loosened, the
system pressure drops to atmospheric, and the heat
which had caused water temperature to be higher than
212°F, will be dissipated by conversion of water to
steam. Inasmuch as the steam may form in the engine
water passages, it will blow coolant out of the radiator
upper hose and top tank, necessitating coolant replace-
ment Engine operating temperatures higher than the
normal boiling point of water are in no way objectionable
so long as the coolant level is satisfactory when the
engine is cooL
Upon repeated coolant loss, the pressure radiator cap
and seat should be checked for sealing ability. Also, the
cooling system should be checked for loose hose con-
nections, defective hoses, gasket leaks, etc.
Coolant System Checks
1.
Test for restriction in the radiator, by warming the
engine up and then turning the engine off and feeling
the radiator. The radiator should be hot at the top
and warm at the bottom, with an even temperature
rise from bottom to top. Cold spots in the radiator
indicate clogged sections.
2.
Water pump operation may be checked by running the
engine while squeezing the upper radiator hose. A
pressure surge should be felt Check for a plugged
vent-hole in pump.
NOTE:
A defective head gasket may allow ex-
haust gases to leak into the cooling system.
This is particularly damaging to the cooling
system as the gases combine with the water to
form acids which are particularly harmful to
the radiator and engine.
3.
To check for exhaust leaks into the cooling system,
drain the system until the water level stands just
above the top of the cylinder head, then disconnect
the upper radiator hose and remove the thermostat
and fan belt. Start the engine and quickly accelerate
several times. At the same time note any appreci-
able water rise or the appearance of bubbles which
CHEVROLET CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL
ENGINE COOLING 6K-2
are indicative of exhaust gases leaking into the coolr
ing system.
Periodic Maintenance
Periodic service must be performed to the engine cool-
ing system to keep it in efficient operating condition.
These services should include a complete cleaning and
reverse flushing as well as a reconditioning service.
In the course of engine operation, rust and scale ac-
cumulate in the radiator and engine water jacket. The
accumulation of these deposits can be kept to a minimum
by the use of a good rust inhibitor but it should be
remembered that an inhibitor will not remove rust al-
ready present in the cooling system.
Two common causes of corrosion are: (1) air suction--
Air may be drawn into the system due to low liquid level
in the radiator, leaky water pump or loose hose con-
nections; (2) exhaust gas leakage—Exhaust gas may be
blown into the cooling system past the cylinder head
gasket or through cracks in the cylinder head and block.
Cleaning
A good cleaning solution should be used to loosen the
rust and scale before reverse flushing the cooling
system. There are a number of cleaning solutions avail-
able and the manufacturer's instructions with the particu-
lar cleaner being used should always be followed.
An excellent preparation to use for this purpose is GM
Cooling System Cleaner. The following directions for
cleaning the system applies only when this type cleaner
is-used.
1.
Drain the cooling system including the cylinder block
and then close both drain plugs.
2.
Remove thermostat and replace thermostat housing.
3.
Add the liquid portion (No. 1) of the cooling system
cleaner.
4.
Fill the cooling system with water to a level of about
3 inches below the top of the overflow pipe.
5. Cover the radiator and run the engine at moderate
speed until engine coolant temperature reaches 180
degrees.
6. Remove cover from radiator and continue to run the
engine for 20 minutes. Avoid boiling.
7. While the engine is still running, add the powder
portion (No. 2) of the cooling system cleaner and
continue to run the engine for 10 minutes.
8. At the end of this time, stop the engine, wait a few
minutes and then open the drain cocks or remove
pipe plugs. Also remove lower hose connection.
CAUTION: Be careful not to scald your hands.
NOTE:
Dirt and bugs may be cleaned out of
the radiator air passages by blowing out with air
pressure from the back of the core.
Reverse Flushing
Reverse flushing should always be accomplished after
the system is thoroughly cleaned as outlined above.
Flushing is. accomplished through the system in a direc-
tion opposite to the normal flow. This action causes the
water to get behind the corrosion deposits and force
them out.
Radiator
1.
Remove the upper and lower radiator hoses and re-
place the radiator cap,
2.
Attach a lead-away hose at the top of the radiator.
3.
Attach a new piece of hose to the radiator outlet
connection and insert the flushing gun in this hose.
4.
Connect the water hose of the flushing gun to a water
outlet and the air hose to an air line.
5. Turn on the water and when the radiator is full, turn
on the air in short blasts, allowing the radiator to
fill between blasts of air.
CAUTION: Apply air gradually as a clogged
radiator will stand only a limited pressure.
6. Continue this flushing until the water from the lead-
away hose runs clear.
Cylinder Block and Cylinder Head
1.
With the thermostat removed, attach a lead-away
hose to the water pump inlet and a length of new hose
to the water outlet connection at the top of the engine.
NOTE:
Disconnect the heater hose when re-
verse flushing engine.
2.
Insert the flushing gun in the new hose.
3.
Turn on the water and when the engine water jacket
is full, turn on the air in short blasts.
4.
Continue this flushing until the water from the lead-
away hose runs clear.
Hot Water Heater
1.
Remove water outlet hose from heater core pipe.
2.
Remove inlet hose from engine connection.
3.
Insert flushing gun and flush heater core. Care must
be taken when applying air pressure to prevent
damage to the core.
Fan Belt
Adjustment
1.
Loosen bolts at Delcotron slotted bracket.
2.
Pull Delcotron away from engine until desired ten-
sion reading is obtained with a strand tension gauge.
Refer to Section 6, "Engine Tune-Up".
3.
Tighten all Delcotron bolts securely.
Thermostat
The thermostat consists of a restriction valve actuated
by a thermostatic element. This is mounted in the hous-
ing at the cylinder head water outlet above the water
pump,
thermostats are designed to open and close at
predetermined temperatures and if not operating properly
should be removed and tested as follows.
Replacement
1.
Remove radiator to water outlet hose.
2.
Remove thermostat housing bolts and remove water
outlet and gasket from thermostat housing (fig. 2).
3.
Inspect thermostat valve to make sure it is in good
condition.
4.
Place thermostat in hot water 25° above the temper-
ature stamped on the thermostat valve.
5. Submerge the valve completely and agitate the water
thoroughly. Under this condition the valve should
open fully.
6. Remove the thermostat and place in water 10° below
temperature indicated on the valve.
7. With valve completely submerged and water agitated
thoroughly, the valve should close completely.
8. If thermostat checks satisfactorily, re-install, using
a new housing gasket.
9. Refill cooling system.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Various carburetors (fig. lc) are used with Chevrolet,
Chevelle, Chevy II, Camaro and Corvette passenger
vehicles. These carburetors are designed to meet the
particular requirements of engines, transmissions and
vehicles, therefore carburetors that look alike are not
always interchangeable. (Refer to carburetor part num-
ber and/or specifications.)
Because many service procedures for the various
carburetors are similar, typical illustrations and pro-
cedures are used except where specific illustrations or
procedures are necessary to clarify the operation.
This section covers removal, installation and adjust-
ments (on engine) of carburetors. Also covered in this
section are maintenance procedures for choke coils,
throttle linkage and fuel filters. For carburetor .over-
haul procedures and additional adjustments (bench), re-
fer to Section 6M of the Overhaul Manual under the
carburetor being serviced.
Specifications for carburetors are located in the back
of this manual.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
Preliminary Checks
1.
Thoroughly warm-up engine. If the engine is cold,
allow to run for at least 15 minutes.
2.
Inspect torque of carburetor to intake manifold bolts
and intake manifold to cylinder head bolts to exclude
the possibility of air leaks.
3.
Inspect manifold heat control valve (if used) for free-
dom of action and correct spring tension.
Idle Speed and Mixture Adjustment (Except Air Injection
Reactor System)
NOTE:
This adjustment should be performed
with engine at operating temperature and park-
ing brake applied.
1.
Remove Air Cleaner.
2.
Connect tachometer and vacuum gauge to engine, then
set hand brake and shift transmission into neutral.
3.
As a preliminary adjustment, turn idle mixture
screws lightly to seat and back out 1-1/2 turns.
CAUTION: Do not turn idle mixture screw
tightly against seat or damage may result.
4.
With engine running (choke wide open) adjust idle
speed screw to specified idle speed, (automatic
transmission in drive, synchronized transmission in
neutral).
5. Adjust idle mixture screw to obtain highest steady
vacuum at specified idle speed.
NOTE:
On air conditioned vehicles, turn air
conditioning to the "on" position and hold the
hot idle compensator valve closed while adjust-
ing idle speed and idle mixture screws.
NOTE:
On Rochester BV carburetors the idle
mixture screw should be turned out 1/4 turn
from the "lean roll" position. The definition
of "lean roll" point is a 20 to 30 rpm drop
in engine speed obtained by leaning the idle
mixture.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and5 as needed for final adjustment.
NOTE:
If necessary, final adjustment of the \
carburetor may be made with the air cleaner
installed.
7. Turn engine off, remove gauges and install air
clearer.

Test Before Installation -
It is good shop practice to fill the carburetor bowl
before installing the carburetor. This reduces the strain
on the starting motor and battery and reduces the pos-
sibility of backfiring while attempting to start the engine.
A fuel pump clamped to the bench, a small supply of fuel
and the necessary fittings enable the carburetor to be
filled1 and the operation of the float and'intake needle and
seat to be checked. Operate the throttle several times
and check the discharge from the pump jets before in-
stalling the carburetor.
Installation
1.
Be certain throttle body and intake manifold sealing
surfaces are clean.
2.
Install new carburetor to manifold flange gasket (if
required).
3.
Install carburetor over manifold studs.
4.

Testing (Fig. 5A)
Tool J-7825, is designed to check paper element air
cleaners to determine whether the element has ma-
terially decreased in efficiency arid should be replaced
or has only slightly increased air restriction and is
suitable for further service. In combination with a
tachometer, this instrument will quickly and accurately
determine the air cleaner element condition.
VENT HOLE
TOWARD DASH
NOTE:
t Before testing, inspect for holes or
breaks in the element, as these defects re-
quire immediate replacement. If no holes or
breaks exist, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove all hoses and plug all openings except air
cleaner inlet.
2.
Install air cleaner, using Tool J-7825 in place of the
wing nut. Screw Tool J-7825 onto the stud until it
seals tightly against the air cleaner cover. Rotate
the entire tool so that the scale can be read from
the left side of the car. Be sure the vent hole is
toward the dash.
3.
Connect a tachometer and place it so that it may be
read simultaneously with Tool J-7825.
4.
Zero oil level in the inner tube by pulling inner tube
upward until the rubber seal is above the vent hole,
then raise or lower as' required until the inner tube
oil level is exactly to the "0" mark.
5. Start engine. If engine is cold, allow to run for 2 to
3 minutes. The automatic choke must be fully open.
6. Accelerate the engine slowly until the inner tube oil
level of Tool J-7825 just reaches the 1/4 mark.
Allow engine speed to stabilize and note tachometer
(rpm) reading. Decelerate engine.
7. If the tachometer reading is at or below the follow-
ing, the oil wetted paper air cleaner element is re-
stricted beyond the allowable limit and should be
replaced. If testing indicates that the element
restriction is satisfactory at 12,000 miles, the ele-
ment need not be replaced but should be retested
every 6,000 miles thereafter until replaced.
