    Question-
    « on: September 05, 2015 - 12:49:51 AM »
    What size is the oil plug behind the filter plate. And not the one that holds the filter plate on.
     I know it is not N.P.T. thread pitch. Close as it comes is a 3/8.
    My motor is ready to go on the Dino and I need this plug ever so bad

    Motor is a 1969 340 out of a Dart.

    Not my motor but think this is the plug I am looking for. It's the hole with the fine threads.

    Is that a 3/8" nptf plug. I see it fine thread.
    I got to get one cause the guy building my motor does not want to mess with it.

    was it a regular pipe thread?
