Engine block plugs

[superfragl]

Last night I started working on the 440 for my Fury. It is a 74 block. I took it apart about a year ago and now can not remember where does one pipe plug go.
There are 4 short oil plugs (2 on the back and 2 on the front), 2 water drain plugs on the sides and this one...

The thread size is the same as the oil plugs have. It was definitely on the outside because it had some paint on it.
Please help.
This is my 2 year old helping me with the build ))

Fuel Pump Rod hole?

 

[superfragl]

Nope, I have the fuel pump rod in a separate bag with the plug...

Here, on the water pump where I have my temperature guage?

Look around the cam opening at the front of the block, I recall my builder pointing one out that is sometimes missed (just don't recall where).

I will have to check tonight. I do not remember removing any plugs off the water pump though.. I think the temp sensor is on the other side of the pump I have.

Around the cam opening I installed two short plugs.. and this plug was an external one since it had paint on it and was very dirty... Perhaps I am getting older )

The only ones I recall having a hex head (or square) and not a socket head were the ones on the side of the block, seen next to the freeze plug in the middle.

Confirm if the leftover plug is not from the intake manifold.

 

[superfragl]

That is possible. I has been a year since I took it apart. I will be checking tonight.

Under the cam gear, visible from the bottom.

Lot's of people miss that one....

 

[superfragl]

Yep, installed that one and another one near the cam (it is recessed a bit)

Took a couple pics last night.

The plug on the water pump is bigger than the one in question.
Looks like all plugs are in place.
Then I found this

I realized that I took this plug off a 383 intake I had in spare parts.
Commando, thanks for the tip!

Either intake or water pump housing to block a temp switch port.

I know you have figured it out, but just as an aside, on mine, the larger plug you have is occupied by the "hot/cold" sending unit, and the smaller one was used for the electric temperature guage.
