Kevin,
Up under the adapter you have placed over the oil filter stand, there
is a barely visible 1/8 npt opening for the stock oil pressure sensor. In your
picture, it appears to be open. It is hard to see with the adapter installed
and can be forgotten till you start the engine. You would be AMAZED at how
much oil can come out of that small hole! Plug it! Don’t ask me how I know
this!
I think some have removed the heater core tube, drilled and tapped the hole
for ½ npt and installed a plug like the one you have in the oil adapter just
above it. I plan to use mine, but I tried to temporarily put a rubber plug in
it like you find in the bottom of a boat. It turned out to be more temporary
than I planned. :>) At least, it helped to wash off some of the damn oil
from the pressure sender hole!

I was told this is where the heater core
water comes from.[tube with green tape] I wish to remove and plug
it. I doubt I'd ever use hot water heat as cabin heat. how do
I do this? kevin
