Re: Thawing my car out
Here we go again. After a month I find another leak from the back right side of the block. I put an xmem in from a 74 and planned to take it in to get duals. As if my carb rebuild job wasn't bad enough-choke trouble, I think-I find that drip Tues morning. I replaced the front left, flushed the system, no leaks at all and all the sudden...There it is a month later....lol

For the record they are not "Freeze plugs" they are core plugs that cast in the block to remove the sand out of the water jackets when they cast the block. if a block freezes It gonna crack where ever it wants.

Up here I would die if I left my car outside. Is there more water than coolant in it?

Re: Thawing my car out
After replacing the front plug, it was a 60/40 ratio roughly. It was all frozen so solid that its not surprising to have found more than one blown out(given its not something worse than second) just, expected to see it all once it originally thawed out. Ill get under there in thenext couple days and see whats what.

Re: Thawing my car out
Mine sat in the garage for the cold snaps we had. I did try to get it out once and wound up remembering how much of a handful they are in ice and put it back in, despite the anemic 305 and retarding the timing it still was a handful. Had to drive it to get a new t-stat for the Explorer since it got stuck open and was covered in 5" of snow and ice.
I run 50/50 for the most part, sometimes 70/30.
My Explorer gets a flush like every year since it finds it needs a new place to leak from all the time.
