Which Service Manual Do I Need?

[Roger Frazee]

I recently purchased a Chrysler TC service manual (red cover) but it does not cover the 2.2L eight valve engine.  It only covers the 16V and the 3.0L engines.  

 

I noticed there is also a service manual with a blue cover.  Is that the one I need for my 8V engine?

Yes.

[Hemi Dude]

Is there something special you need to know now?

[Roger Frazee]

Yes.  Is there a removable plug in the cooling system for purging the air when doing a flush & fill? 

[Hemi Dude]

BUT, the plug is very difficult to remove.

Perfect.  Thanks.

 

[Hemi Dude]

If you cannot remove the plug, you can get most of the blocked air out by bleeding at either locations here, the upper one being preferable.

You were right about that plug being hard to get out.  A hex wrench with a 2' piece of pipe wouldn't budge it.  But after spraying it for 30 seconds with Freeze Out, it broke loose.

 

Thanks for your help, Hemi.

I’d like to see them too, BUT NOT on the Chrysler TC link. I hope the pictures are up on the Corvair or Chevy link.

Won't let him show his so I will show the cars I help take care of........... maybe they belong here.

Very impressive Barney, here is the car I was the mechanic on for Bo Duke.  I know him as John.

And if you have any connection with him, please give him my sincere condolences on the passing of his wife.   Hemi.
