Default Freeze Plugs

Does anyone know what size the Block Freeze plugs are?
The ones on the side of the block around the Engine mount area.

I blew one out and need to buy a new one and want to make sure I get the proper size the first time.

Thats if anyone knows.

Yah, just buy the whole kit, was like 11 bucks and came with everything, including the cam plug and the small ones behind the timing cover. Got ride of my block heater, never gonna winter drive the thing anyway so less wiring under my hood.

YES I HAD FUN[:@] But they didn't have the SET when I went to buy them and the A** was to lazy to look for the single one I needed. Sold me a set that later found out was for a Chevy.
Took it back and got a single one for less than a dollar with tax.
It would have been easier but it was the one behind the engine mount so all had to come off to get to it.
