As many of you know, I just about have my restoration complete.
However, I encountered a problem this week that I have yet to solve.
The water drain tap (not the heater valve) begins to leak when I get
to about 165 degrees. Slow drip at first and then more rapid. Coolant
all over the garage floor!
I was using the original drain tap, so I ordered a new one to try. It
leaks also!!!!
Have others of you encountered this? What suggestions do you have for
fixing this. I can take it out and give the end a whack with a punch
to try to "set" it in the valve. It is not easy to get to as it is
behind the exhaust headers, heat shield and carbs. I did find that I
can approach it from the front of the car.
I need help!!!
