    I searched the site and see some discussion regarding freeze plugs, brass or rubber etc. However, I have a 73 CJ5 with AMC 304. After removing the exhaust manifold I see that 2 of my freeze plugs, are "weeping" or leaking a little. I was thinking now is the time to replace them. When searching the American Motor Parts site I see that there are a couple of different sizes, 1in, 1.5in and 2in. Which on is the correct size metal plug for my 73 304?

    Coincidentally, the same size as the access holes to your intermediate windshield wiper linkage.
