Re: water-logged 66

Kevin,

Sounds like you're making good progress and I'm happy to hear you're drying out. Regarding your questions . . .

Al Knock is a well known supplier/manufacturer of reproduction carpet. I would recommend going with his product and reading the archives on how best to install new carpet (tons of posts in the archives).

The plug on the rear differential is located on the right side (passenger side), kind of above the spring and half shaft. I have found it easiest to do this job when the car is on stands, level, and the right rear wheel if off the car. Check your service manuel for details.

As far as treating the floor pans with a mold inhibitor, I'm not sure. I would think some sort of bleach solution would work - but others may have a tried and true method.

All the best

Re: water-logged 66

Kevin you will have to borrow or buy a suction gun to remove the lubricant in the rear end.
The suction gun I have has the main body style of the older style grease guns. Taking the right rear tire off and and lowering the car some would let the lubricant move towards the drain hole for suction.

Just a thought, if you had a four post lift in your garage you could of raised your car high enough to keep it out of the rising flood water.

Kevin,

Go to a "commerical" janitorial supply company. Get a BioZyme type product which is a liquid spray with instant odor control and live bacteria. This type of product digests mold/mildew and eliminates odors. Good for carpets, fabrics, floors, etc.
