I broke one of the intake manifold studs off when I was replacing my leaking A/C compressor. The intake manifold started leaking coolant. The intake manifold gaskets are replaced along with the broken stud. While performing repairs I broke off a hard to find fitting for the oil pressure switch. My local Chevrolet dealer was able to find a new old stock fitting at a Chevrolet dealer in Detroit. This video also shows how to time the small block Chevrolet 305 cu-in throttle body injection (TBI). After the repairs were completed the A/C was charged and I show how much the A/C is cooling compared to the outside air temperature. 00:00 Begin disassembly 05:29 Rare Part 06:15 Clean and prepare intake manifold for installation 11:34 Install intake manifold 15:21 Install engine accessories 17:31 Find top dead center 18:14 Install distributor 18:53 Complete installation of engine accessories 31:17 Fill radiator with new coolant 33:14 Setting the timing on the TBI engine 34:44 Finishing up repairs 41:48 A/C cooling effect
