Anyone know where I can find the two water port screw in parts for my 78 slant?

Those are probably just small standard freeze plugs - if you get the ID of the Hole and compare to the dorman catalog listing you can probably find one that will work. - Hey have SAE and Metric.. I did that when I wanted to block off the distributor hole on one engine.

Also look and see if there is a part or catalog # on the existing plugs you are trying to replace..that will make your search easier.

as a last resort you can always tap it for NPT and use a flush Pipe Plug..

I believe that those are 3/8" pipe thread hose nipples.

Oh, sorry,

Hardware store pipe cut to fit your application.

If you want the proper heater hose nipple with yhe slot and proper undercut for holding the hose on... it should be the dame as LA / B / RB engines.
