Does anyone know the part number for this bolt/plug and the availability?
This bolt/plug goes in the front of the block.

There are several passages in the front of the block, the threaded one toward the top is a standard pipe plug. If you are referring to the ones at the cam gallarys, they are "welch Plug" style are are available from most NAPA or similar stores. I assume this is a smallblock? If a bigblock, there are pipe plugs in main gallarys relativelly low on the front of the block, these will dump a quart of oil on the ground in a couple of seconds at startup if not installed. Don't ask me how I know this...

Hello;
Did a similar "oil the floor" thing a few years ago.
Laughing is good.
Forgeting oil plugs bad.
Always enjoy reading postings on here.
