extra freeze plugs
I took my88 5.8L block down to get cleaned and they pulled the freeze plugs. So i bought a set but after putting in the two freeze plugs in the front and three allen bolts in the back i have an extra allen bolt and small freeze plug where might these go?

I think the small plug goes in the top of the lifter valley at the back of the block. I think theres an allen in the back of the block by the flywheel as well. If you don't find them I'll look at mine tomorrow and tell you for sure.

I went out and looked at mine. Unfortunately, with it on the stand and where it's at, I can't see it all that well. IIRC, That was all I took out, ( excepting the large ones )- three allens at the back, 2 in the front and one in the valley. I just looked at the set I have and there are 3 small plugs, one valley plug, and 4 allens? I'll see if I can move that thing this afternoon and look it over once more. Maybe someone else will know for sure.
I had a thought, though. I wonder if maybe the 260, 289, or 302 have more plugs?
