1970 Water Pump housing freeze plug

erik70rt · July 21, 2017, 06:55:25 AM

Does anyone have a good pic of the type of freeze plug that is used on the top of the water pump housing for a 1970 383? The previous owner installed an aftermarket temp sending unit and I pulled it out last night. Now I need the freeze plug to fill the hole on the housing.

Thanks!

There is no freeze plug in the water pump of a big block Mopar....

Maybe he meant the normal threaded plug?

Yea I believe he's talking about the threaded plug. The correct ones are hard to find with an inverted 1/2 square hole.
