It was a bit of a mystery as I recall....

Yea it was. Electrical problems will always do that.

I Hope now that this issue won't be as bad and hopefully just a simple plug to replace. although removing the engine isn't ideal lol.

The core plugs are standard GM SBC and any parts store will have them, just make sure they are brass or stainless
The motor has to come out first either way

so the plug might have saved the block.

Never going to happen on a Chevy small block. Ford, maybe

Those core plugs are to get core sand out of the block during the casting process

Any NAPA has a $14 brass core plug kit for SBCs.

Ayuh,..... They're suppose to live right behind the flywheel,....

Could someone help me locate the part number for those plugs? That would be greatly appreciated. The one's that I found was labeled under Core plug - Part No. 3852100 however I found a few different part #'s for core plugs so just want to make sure
