I took "Vanni" my 63 Avanti out for ride. I got on the 4 lane and wound the engine up to 4,000 RPM when I heard something pop. Gages looked good and it was running fine but then I noticed the water temp was going up fast and she never overheats. Pulled into a parking lot and verified that the pop was the middle freeze plug on the left side exiting the engine. No chance of limping this one home. So I got to walk 2 miles home and call a tow truck. It was a nice day and I'll still love the car tomorrow after I get it fixed. Freeze plugs were replaced three years ago and it blew it completely out. Ant hints to help make sure these things stay in place.
