   I won't remember the details clearly by my '70 chevy lost a "freeze plug" in   
   the winter 'cuz my antifreeze measure was faulty. I do remember desperately   
   pouring water in, that had ice in it. The miracle was somebody telling of a   
   shop that would fix it. I    
   drove, stopping every mile or so when it overheated and poured more water in.   
   they fixed it just fine and I got to use it for some years after.   
      
   Now, "freeze plug" is not what it was designed as, it was a lucky accident   
   from the block casting process.
