frost plugs 1948 flat head 6

[Brent L]

Gentlemen,

 

Hello again, this is Brent, I searched up the size and it was 1 5/8". when I bought it it wasn't the same shape. the 1 i bought was like a cup and the ones online were shaped like a mushroom. Any thoughts?

[Don Coatney]

The cup are incorrect. Pictured below is what you should use.

Don is absolutely correct and if you can get a brass one for behind the flywheel, so much the better.

I got mine at Oreilly's.  I'm sure NAPA would have them.

Are you saying you were able to get the disc-type from O'Reilly's, and not the cup-type? Do you have a part number? They didn't know what I was talking about

They are standard Dorman products that should be available at nearly any auto supply. See http://www.ply33.com/Parts/group18#18-CS

 

And apparently, O'Reilly knows about them: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/DAG0/550023.oap?ck=Search_550-023_-1_-1&keyword=550-023

Using those #s they are available from Rockauto too.

[flathead]

Great - thanks guys!

Ahhh. But I can walk to my nearest O’Reilly Auto Parts (or AutoZone which I don’t like as much) but I'd have to order from Rock Auto and then wait for them to be delivered. And I am into immediate gratification.

 

I am also into looking at the parts on the counter and deciding if they are really correct before paying.

Same here but for others who might want to order it's available. People more rural for example.
