| Hi John, You may already know this - These are 1-5/8” I believe and I would definitely use brass. I am not sure when Chrysler did the changeover from disc type to cup type. Both are available but the cup type are common, disc less so… D&K

I guess eventually a 65 year old freeze plug on a never rebuilt engine could eventually start to weep. Since I've never needed freeze plugs on any old car before (not even my 55 or 57), thought I'd ask if anyone in the group has done their freeze plugs on a 413 lately and had any recommendations for a brand of plugs. I assume I'd want to go with brass over steel to avoid rust problems in the future? Again, never done them before, not sure I'll be the one to do the job, but looking for advice on type/brand to use. Maybe also if there's anything I can/should do or avoid doing in the meantime while I look for plugs and a shop willing to install them? Of course, that forward most plug is close to being obscured by the motor mount, so hopefully that mount doesn't have to be removed to get the job done. As always, any advice appreciated.
