[Fot] Engine Plug Sizes, oil press pickup

[Mark Pendergrass]

FWIW, this head port point is where i have the temp. gauge sender located. 
It seems to have the "hottest" readings in the cooling system, theirfore i'm 
assured everything forward is, or should be , running cooler, am i all wet ? 
Mark Pendy..........Merry Xmas to all!!
