Hi....it's the pest again....Paul
Conner. My 13b was going to be mounted plugs up by the original owner,
so he had this radiator cap with all it's plumbing inserted into the
hole in the picture, near the oil filter. When I attempted to unscrew
it, it came out easily, and I found that it was not threaded, but
instead it was just pushed in the hole. Probably wouldn't have stayed
there very long. Any idea what this hole is/was for? (obviously water,
but to where might it have gone.....heater core)? Lastly, to plug
this hole, should I attempt to tap it with a NPT tap, or is there
something that is a press fit that I should purchase to plug this
hole? Thanks again for everyone's patience. I'm hoping to get this
thing running shortly, but need to address these pesky little
inconveniences. The first picture shows what was inserted into the
hole, and the second picture shows where the hole is located. Paul
Conner, endless 13b hole-plugging.
