57 Engine Block Drain Plug

[Salvador B.]

Are judging points deducted for having pitcock plugs as opposed to traditional drain plugs on the engine block on a 57?

Re: 57 Engine Block Drain Plug

deduction if judge catches it. also they look for freeze(expansion) plugs with no manufacturers logos stamped on the plug. u can buy brass plugs from speed shop sources with no logos stamped in them. then simply glass bead the brass plugs for paint adhesion before pressing them in the block. mike
