<VV> Exhaust gas + Diff seal

[Ignacio Valdes]

It is an early 1964 Monza Coupe automatic "Lisa" and she does have the diff
dipstick on the left side. I have to daily drive her until my crashed car
is fixed probably another week. I've ordered the seals from Clark's but it
is going to take awhile. The dipstick is somewhat crimped at the top, looks
tough to fill that way. Can I keep the differential filled somehow for the
next week until the seals get here? -- IV
