i removed my manifolds cause the exhaust flange was busted and i noticed that the freeze plug above the throttle link bell crank has a tiny crack in the center and a few drops sitting tricking out.

can i replace my manifold then deal with the plug or do i need to take care of that first?

i think found a thread on here saying to use a dome plug and not a cup? is this correct

Hy drew_vigil, I would want to deal with the "freeze plug" with as much room as possible, and use the same style plug as the one you remove. A little sealer around the outside edge when you install the "freeze plug" wouldn't hurt. To remove the plug, just drive a chisel or screwdriver into the center of it and pry it out, hope that helps.
