Freeze plug blues

[GSTROM99@aol.com]

I see the dreaded coolant drip off the bottom of the bellhousing on my Series 
II and expect the back freeze plug needs to be renewed.  I KNEW I should've 
replaced it when I had the trans and flywheel out a few years ago for a 
clutch job.  I can remember laying under the car, looking at it, and 
thinking...  "Naw, it looks OK".  Darn.

Is the plug a standard size, available at the local auto parts store, or will 
I need to order it?  Are they available in brass?
