Just to follow up, DO NOT fail to install new core plugs. The two on the drivers side are under the manifolds and the one in the back requires pulling the motor to get at. I got a set of bronze ones for the last engine I did. They won't rust out; not that anyone my age has to worry about new steel ones rusting... just the same. These trucks will outlast most of us.
