Re: Rear Diff Plug HELP

The plug you link to from Snyder's states in the description "The original style. Can be used to fill and drain. This style of oil plug is 1/2" pipe thread."

Pipe thread is tapered thread.

Re: Too much gear lube

Does your oil look foamy at all? Air in the oil will increase the level.

I was having an issue with 600W foaming in my transmission. I switched to Lucas 85w-150. Problem solved.

Well said Brent. My thought exactly. I send out reminders before the date of the tour so people have time to check their cars so we don't have any "Roadside Seminars". If people would maintain their...

Re: Adjusting timing

Gene, a little more info in the Balancer.

Re: help! clutch won‘t disengage…

Tom, I'm glad it was the lever as I suggested (post #16). They always crack thru the pin hole. That is a relatively easy fix compared to a pressure plate.

Yes, that would help. Easily done by noting the position of the rotor.
