Leaking front plug on Chevy Q-Jet

<< < (2/2)

omaha:
you might be able to seal it from the inside if you could find some epoxy that flows easy, still might be kinda tricky. I would think It probably would be next to impossible to get that plug out without destroying it . Another option would be to make a similar looking plug {mini lathe?} and epoxy that in. Just thinking out loud here FWIW.

I use Marine Tex epoxy on outside to seal these.  I have not tapped these to plug.  Somebody else might chime in for correct original look fix.

 Oh, I see. Sorry to the original poster. I would contact Cliff and see what he can do.

Cliff Ruggles:
We can repair that plug during restoration of the carburetor without having any exposed epoxy that would effect the look of the carburetor.  They must be re-colored after the repair......Cliff
