Re: [AMC-list] Aluminum 195.6 Freeze Plugs

[das24rules@xxxxxxxxx]

wow, im not sure what the screws are for. my freeze plugs look like the day
they were new. i wasnt going to bother with new ones. i saw that feebay add,
and thought about it for like 1 second, (till i saw it was only 1) and
decided to pass. the car this came out of only had 15k on it. appeared to be
draind before parked. it would be nice to have NEW ones availible. yes, they
are friggin HUGE. i havent measured them, but probbly over 2". real close if
not. i guess maybe it needs to be for the cold climates (like where i live
where it is -20 regularly in the winter, 5 days in a row this winter) to make
that the weakest point with all that aluminum. i dont THINK these would be to
hard to replace in the car. well, in my 62 classic anyway. may have the
steering column in the way a little, but i think i could work around it. id
love to have new ones to put in. its hard enough to find parts for the c.i.
196, but for the aluminum? HA. are you kidding me? im hoping the gears and
shaft for the c.i. oil pump are the same as the aluminum, because my aluminum
pump is froze up, and a couple teeth are stripped off the pump drive gear. i
would assume they are the same. i guess, as long as the gear teeth, and pump
gears are the same, should be ok.
