I know it was no where near bottomed out!!!! So i take it out and yea threads gone up to maybe first 3 rows. Well i know that pos alum plug didnt ruin that steel manifold. But looks like i got the molten alum out of the threads of one spot but another spot has some and i cant seems to scrape it out. I dont want to take the manifold off. Im going to try and get a tap but need the thread size and pitch. Thanks all! Its weird only 2 spots have the aluminum in the threads. Maybe a 1/4" long spot each. Like as if it wasnt even screwing all the way around.
