My 318 has two on the engine block and two on the exhaust manifolds (1 per manifold). There is one on each side of the engine block just above the oil pan not too far back from the front of the engine. The drain plugs on the exhaust manifolds are in the center of the manifold at the bottom.

Found a second one on the manifold at the rear, so 3 per side.

The riser has one per riser as well, at least the 90 degree turn riser.

Don't know why you're inquiring but if it's for winterizing for example, check if the tranny oil cooler has one.

my tranny oil cooler does not have one, I know some of the old paragons might as they had a water jacket.

Depends on vintage. Both tranny and engine oil coolers where applicable could have plugs.
