[DeTomaso] ZF drain plugs - common AC/Delco part #

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Larry,
 
The pic in the original listing shows a plug with no head. IIRC the ZF
plug has a head and seals using a copper washer between plug head and
case. Did the plug you installed have a head?

Sorry my post did not make clear that not only did I discover this drain
plug, I have already installed one in my ZF.

I only paid $7.70 including shipping, so the risk is minimal.

   Larry,



   The pic in the original listing shows a plug with no head. IIRC the ZF
   plug has a head and seals using a copper washer between plug head and
   case. Did the plug you installed have a head?
