I think i am going crazy, but i do not remember where the oil galley plugs are on a 302 motor. The reason being is, i am looking into buying an lx. The oil pressure drops 5 seconds after startup. Almost everyone i have asked says that it may be missing an oil galley plug.

Well where are they at? I am mostly curious about the one behind the water pump(i think there is one there)....

thanks guys

There are some behind the camshaft gear and some on the back of the engine, There is also one under the rear of the intake manifold.

They're probably screw-in, though. (as in "never falls out")
