Mike,
I am pretty sure there is at least one or two more aluminum plug other than
the one you found. One of them is located on the front of the block near
the oil galley. I purchased my replacement plugs from Moss (not my usual
supplier, but they seemed to be the only people in town that had one). They
came on a stick and were all connected as one solid rod. Kind of wild.
Good Luck,
Mike Brinker
