Default Location of Freeze Plugs

Greetings all,

With about 40 years of grit, dirt and oil on the engine I'm having trouble identifying where the freeze plugs are located. Can anyone give me a "road map" as to where and how many they are?

I've got a small drip and one of the older local shade tree guys said it was a freeze plug. I'll be darn if I can find exactly where it's coming from. Sometime is leaks a little and sometimes not at all.

The guy I found the car / obtained it from said he put in rubber freeze plugs and that one was leaking and would need to be replaced... hence the direction of my search.

1967 RS 327 w/factory air - 2bbl Rochester carb

8 in all. Two in front, four on side (2 under each motor mount ), two in back of block behind flywheel. All are 1 5/8". Use brass for the replacements.
