    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.

    SOLD 1968 Plymouth Fury III 2 Door Hardtop $6500

    This is a beautiful car and I wish my life situation was different; I'd be all over it. GLWTS!

    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...

    Subframe tightening?

    Dave - exactly. The passenger door (which had an alignment problem when I bought the car) 'butts" into the fender with the car jacked up, but acts perfectly normal with the car on the ground. I will look harder for creases around the firewall, thanks!

    Welcome AF. to FCBO!

    Good memory - yes I did! There are a few videos of the car cruising around (made in 2007) and now I'm to the point where I'm actually going to "do" the car instead of just "hacking it for now."

    Subframe tightening?

    GJS, I put my jackstands here (hard to know exactly where they're placed in this picture) - right on the subframe. (pic stolen from this thread: 1969 - 1971 C body Stub Frame (subframe)). When I unload the jack, the nose sags down by an amount I am not really comfortable with. Hopefully I don't...

    Subframe tightening?

    Dave, that's great info, thanks. Yep, the car & subframe are about as solid as you could ask for. (The quarter panels are a different story, ha ha.) I didn't know there were donuts between the subframe and the mounts; I can almost guarantee they've never been replaced. I'll definitely start...

    Subframe tightening?

    Whenever I jack the front end of my car up and then lower it onto the jackstands, the entire front of the car "droops" down a bit more than I think it ought to. Does everyone's car do this??? Besides subframe connectors (which I'm planning on), is there a trick to stiffening the front end...
