Detailed Description

Pioneer Cables PE-182-R is an engine expansion plug kit used in cylinder block repair and rebuild work. The steel plugs are made from fine-grained, cold-rolled steel and zinc plated to help resist corrosion in demanding engine environments. This kit is listed for 1979-1980 Cadillac Eldorado and 1978-1980 Cadillac Seville, making it a direct-fit service part for those applications. PE-182-R is also a practical reference point when sourcing engine expansion plugs for Cadillac Eldorado and Cadillac Seville rebuild projects.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
