[Chrysler300] Re: Freeze out plug

["richard_e_osborne" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,

The older B/RB (as well as Hemi) engines have this "step" I believe you are referring to.

The newer B/RB (as well as A and Hemi) engines have the straight thru holes.

Different holes for different plugs.

Best regards,

Richard
