I came across a Dorman expansion plug number of E-16 for a set of the plugs for my 36 212. My local auto parts cant seem to find a current number.

Anyone have one or able to cross it??

Thanks,

Jeff

    You mean the water jacket plugs? Well I can't tell you for the 212 but if they're 2" plugs just like the stepdowns then I got the number somewhere here.

    Hey Aaron,

    Nope. These are barely and inch or so. The seven that I am looking at seem to be mostly in cooling passages on head and block.

    Thanks anyway!

    Hey 308,

    Yes I will measure them. And, I believe they are the small convex type.

    Havent pulled one out yet as wanted to make sure I could replace it!

    Thanks,

    I just replaced all of the expansion plugs in my '40 212. The larger ones in the block are 1", there are 3 of them. The smaller ones in the head are 7/8" and there are 4 of them. The 1" were easy to find. The 7/8" had to be ordered.

    Hey Hudson308, thanks yourself. You were the one that pointed me in the right direction. I got mine from NAPA and did not think to ask for a part number.

    FINALLY!

    After callin, and searchin I got em!

    Correct on the 1" ones they are Dorman # 550-012, AND the 7/8" ones are Dorman # 550-010!

    Actually got em off an old machinists dusty shelf in NOS condition but the numbers should still be good.
