I was installing the systems onto the ECI O-320-D1A engine in my 3B build and noticed an open port on the angled oil filter adapter that I hadn't addressed yet.
It is the hole next to the vernatherm. I think it is the opening that would accept the MS28034-1 oil temp sender (at least on an AEL22772) but I have an oil temp probe mounted on the accessory case already.
My angle adapter has the following part numbers stamped on it: AEL22770 on top and AEL22771 Rev 003 on the side. Google hasn't helped on this one.
I need to plug that hole but it is a funny size. It isn’t straight threads and it isn’t pipe thread. It looks like a flared fitting thread but AN6 is too small and AN8 is too big.
I found an old adapter fitting in my junk pile that screws right in and I think it is an O-ring fitting thread but bigger than the fittings that would go into an AN6 carb fitting.
Anybody know if there is a plug available for this?
Thanks
