Rebuild about done

Most likely a 1/8th inch pipe plug.
Sometimes there was an oil pressure sending unit installed in that location.

The hole looks to be 3/8 - 1/2. It's slightly smaller than the 5/8 oil cooler line holes.

I wonder if that is where a stud for the clutch linkage tube would have screwed into.
If a 3/8ths or a 1/2” NC bolt will fit the hole, then that most likely will be the case.

Since the oil cooler holes are NPT would that be NPT as well?

That's where I tapped in for the engine oil bypass filter on the first 2 - 6.5's I did.
Seemed like the square indentation was 5/16". Not positive. I also believe it was a pipe thread size. Maybe 1/4" or 3/8" npt

Need to look at the threads within the bore, compare those to what pipe thread looks like.
If You have a proper size piece of pipe, or a pipe fitting with the same size as that bore, see how it screws into the hole.

Well we may have a problem.

Then you look into the pump to find the drive slots and put the converter in close to those lining up on the TC snout 'hub'. Look on the snout of the TC to see where the seal was running and use this as your depth goal. The it's turn, turn, turn, turn... until the converter "Thump" slips over the pump drive.

We're any of the plugs nps?

That I do not know.

 

[jrsavoie]

I know I have the plugs I removed around here someplace. For some reason I thought the lower plug might be NPS.

 

[Rodd]

That plug was 3/8 NPT. Got it from the machine shop that worked on my block.

 

[Rodd]

Now we have a new issue. We left the motor mounts off as suggested and got the TC and bell housings connected. We have the mounts installed but we can't find our pictures we took years ago when we took it out. We're trying to figure out which mount covers go on which side The ones that mount to the engine that sit on top of the mounts.

The 95 I did was 4WD and had the tabs to the rear that would mount the support bars for the conv cover .

Thanks! That's what I thought.

 

[Rodd]

Got it in. Thanks for all the help. Now it's time to hook up everything. Can someone please attach a picture of the passenger side AC mounting bracket for the 95? The pics and video I took 5 years ago when I started this project don't show me a good view of how it's mounted.

Check my signature line - you might be able to see what you're looking for in the link.

Thanks! Got it almost done. Just need to double check all the grounds, wiring, install the radiator and starter and she should be ready for her first start.

 

[Paveltolz]

Fingers crossed and positive thoughts for you.

 

[MrMarty51]

Waiting in anticipation.

 

[Rodd]

It's ALIVE. Just need to replace the crossover gaskets (since one is lost and the other is in rough shape) and time it. Need to find an OBD1 that can time it. I have been looking and not sure which ones out there can do it. Let my know.
