I like Welch Plugs too! Never heard that one, everyone I know calls them frost plugs, my 1st acquaintance with them was in my '72 Duster when one rusted through and started leaking Prestone, replaced it but the rest of the car followed shortly after!
Oh, BTW, my Dad worked at a foundry and his job was to knock the caps off the castings that later becomes the plug's location. The sand that is inside is poured out to create the water jacket. It was a pretty hot and boring job so he and his co-workers used to challenge each other who could get them all off in as few of swings as possible. Likely a round of adult beverages was bought by the loser!
