62Stick, good to hear.
Reminds me of the time an old buddy came by wanting to use my shop (& tools) to replace a freeze plug on his Dakota 4 banger. He bought one of those rubber stopper expandable types. My 1st thought was hey, this may be a good thing. So he got it in easily, followed the directions on tightening it, refilled the radiator and started it up to test. Well, as soon as the system pressurized we heard this loud "POP" and a couple bangs and that engine starting peeing anti freeze all over my shop. Needless to say it blew that plug out and it banged around in the engine compartment before it fell to the ground. Lucky for him he didn't road test it...
He went back and got the correct solid plug and a couple gallons of anti freeze and did it right.
And my shop floor cleaned up pretty good, by him LOL.....
