I have a 1939 Chrysler Royal Windsor 6 cylinder. The frost plug between the distributor and the starter finally got too bad to ignore... sooooo I removed the thing without much effort, and now I need to replace it. Can anyone tell me where I can find a frost plug for this year car. Also, when I install the new one, is there any kind of sealer that I should use to seal the new one in place? The diameter looks to be about 1 5/8 inch.

Go for brass freeze plugs and if the edges are clean around the opening, no sealer should be needed. Most parts houses have that size plug available.
