Number of Oil Gallery plugs in a 390
By Tom B. - 12/24/2003 4:28:41 PM; IP 205.188.209.138
I am rebulding a 1966 390 and using the "How To Rebuild BIG-BLOCK FORD ENGINES" manual as a guide. In the manual it states that the standard hydraulic lifter block has 11 oil gallery plugs, but I can only locate 10. I found 4 plugs in the rear of the block, 4 more in the lifter valley and 2 in the front. In the front, one is recessed in the distributor tunnel. Can anyone tell me where the 11th plug is found? I do see that one of the the cam retainer plate bolts blocks the lifter oil gallery, is this what the book is refering to? Any help would be appreciated.
