    SEIZED DIFF PLUG

    !!! Get the area totally cleaned of penetrating fluid, etc etc before swinging a torch around there. Shower everything with brake clean. You’re talking about the plug in the cast iron pumpkin, right? The only seals in jeopardy might be the diff gasket and maybe the pinion seal...both are *long...

    SEIZED DIFF PLUG

    Also, if you don’t have an impact, you can “DIY” by carefully whacking the crap out of the plug *without damaging the business end.* Giant steel hammer + sacrificial piece of steel in between (don’t use the socket!)...the shock is what does the trick. Do this especially if you can’t procure an...

    SEIZED DIFF PLUG

    - Wire brush as much corrosion off of the joint as possible - Find a friend with a small / pencil tip oxy acetylene torch (“sounds like a personal problem!”). Propane & map torches don’t get hot enough...especially not for a plug in a rearend chunk. - heat the *plug* until it’s cherry red...

    How is your ‘75 setup? Do any gigging? I played a J with roundwounds all through HS and college...then I got myself a sunburst American Special P with flatwounds and thought “THIS is where my sound was the whole time!” (this is “anthony fury” from the old Dry Dock)

    Good eye!!! He’s sort of the Rosetta Stone of modern day bass playing...I will go so far as to say he’s the reason why music got funky in the first place. It sounds crazy, but look at the timeline...James Brown was doing “doo-wop” around the time Jamerson’s lines were breaking through the airwaves.

    383 or 440 for my amateur vision

    Well, I dunno if I'm a "sage" or not, but I have at least one question: you listed 2 different head numbers - does the motor in there now have 2 different heads? I don't know what you plan on doing for headers, and this detail alone might set up your decision. The added ~1" width and ~1/2"...

    68 sport fury- leave stock or modify???

    Best answer was: "do what you want, it's your car." If it was just a shell that you found in a field, I'd say sure, make it a Pro Mod. However, my vote is for the gas-can-n-toothbrush resto, especially if you're worried about short term resale value. That car is "all there" which is a real...

    Subframe tightening?

    This is a great discussion, thanks for all the replies. saforwardlook - that makes sense....the back of the car rotating up as the load changes from the jack (under the cross member) to the jackstands. I never really thought to check just how much the rear is coming up. I will check this...
