[William T newman]

I've used a neoprene plug at the track to get by until I could pull the head.

-->Duncan,I think that’s where I’m going next, the freeze plug is just about in line withthe bottom of the dash or close. The good thing is it blew the old plug completely out.I just need to knock a new one in.I’m pretty sure I can go under the dash and through with a piece of ½ or even ¾” roundbar about 2’ long which I can scrounge at work.I’ll have to remove some stuff but still better than pulling the head.jim From: Duncan Charlton <duncan.charlton54 at gmail.com>
