willd - Your Front Diff Modifications

You mentioned some modifications you made to your front differential. I am going to have to pull mine out and was curious about the mods you made to yours. My questions:

1. What did you weld in for a drain plug? A plain nut, or something else? I would like to find something round to weld in.

2. Will the Small Block Chevy valve spring modification work on the stock differential set-up (you mentioned you had a locker) Also, does the spring go on the yoke closest to the differential housing or out on the end on the back side of the wheel spindle (I don't know if it is supposed to put pressure in or out on the stub shaft).
