Re: Freeze plug size?



Jeff,

I assume you mean the 196 aluminum block. I measured my aluminum six tonight in dim light and the freeze blocks on the side of the block opposite the distributor are huge (3 inches or thereabouts). But there are other clues to tell if it's at aluminum block:

The block has vertical ridges or thick strakes and there are well-defined insets for each of the spark plugs. There is a full flow oil filter down by the oil pump. The cast iron motors have that inverted partial flow filter sitting where it will spill the maximum amount of oil when changed.

Hi all

Does anyone know, offhand, exactly what size freeze plugs were used in a
1963 model 199 aluminum block, specifically the big ones on the starter
side?

Thanks
