It seals better than any other copper / nylon / fiber washer did. I got mine at O'Reilly's and I use them on my daily drivers,too. I can't recall the size offhand but they did have one to fit the original plug on my '47. Now if only the REST of my motor didn't leak... -Daryl Scott #45848 • 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline Sportmaster Sedan • 1976 Chevrolet C20 Fleetside
