Don't have any at the moment. The ones that are roughly the size of a loaded 38 bullet?
They fit all FE cylinder heads. I used to find them on Ford F-series trucks with 360/390 engines.

Thanks to you all for helping me search for these cylinder plugs.  I was able to purchase a set from Mustangs Ect.

I haven't tried this variety yet, as I still have a tube of the silver stuff (which lasts forever) but you might consider using it when you do your install of these plugs:

If you need to extract these little buggers for any reason later on, you'll thank yourself I think...just make sure you put it on the threads only and not over the tips. It probably would just burn off but neatness/caution counts often times.

I used this flavor of Permatex about 10 years ago on my "smog plugs". I guess I should pull one to see if the Permatex hype is good.
