Motor Zincs for 318

[eldstuff]

Hi,
I've been wo ndering for some time now how many, and locations of the zincs which should be replace in the Chrysler 318s. I've read over my maintenance manual and do not find any info on the zincs. My motors are 1979 vintage with exhausts being raw water cooled. Where can I go for this info?

No RW cooled motor zincs that I know of.

You say RW cooled exhausts; coolant in engine? If so, you probably have a zinc in the heat exchanger.

I stand corrected! The MOTOR is FWC, and that means there's a tiny zinc in the bottom of the heat exchanger. It may look like a drain plug (and performs that function) but it's also a zinc. Better get a new one before you remove the old one or... Then again, it's a good idea to change the coolant now and then.
