My 58 Bugeye has a 948 engine, at least the block clearly shows "950" on the
left side front as it should.
There is a threaded hole in the cylinder head, right above the engine number
plate on the front right side. Look like 5/8", can't tell if it is fine
thread or not.
Coolant fluid pours out of there, and the only reference I can find in parts
books, manuals, etc. is in Haynes as the spot for the water temperature
sensor for a 1275 engine. The sensor on my car is on the radiator, top right
side, same as in pictures in Horler. I can't find anything so far in the
factory parts manual, Vic Brit, or Moss.
Is it possible that a 1275 cylinder head has been fitted to my 948 block?
Can I just plug this hole with an appropriate size bolt?
If so, can anyone advise what the size of the bolt would be?
TIA,
Doug Ingram
