Re: Advice on removing engine? - New Pics added and a question

AFAIK, the core plugs were all the same and don't recall ever seeing one like that before. Is there something holding the plug in other than friction or is there a passage thru the plug like maybe a temp sensor could be installed? If so maybe it was added for that purpose or for providing coolant to some kind of accessory. IIRC, on an earlier post I think it was mentioned or it appeared the engine originally came from an AMC product????
Here is the info on the retrofit baffle. IMO, if you are running the original type seals and can find one it would be a good idea as Packard had some issues with oil consumption. If you install new modern seals on the valves it might not be as necessary as it was at the time but still wouldn't hurt.. Mike Dulinski might have an oddball single baffle.
