1987 Chevrolet 4X4 Replace Intake Manifold Gaskets Set Timing TBI Engine Square Body Repair

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.
