Yes, I have the right plug for my unit. There are (at least) two different
plugs fitted to A-type ODs, the one that is on my TR3A (which came from a
57 TR3) is the earlier type. On the later plugs, such as you have (or the
one that belongs on my car), the filter screen is held in place by a
projection on the inside of the plug. On my earlier unit, the screen is
held in place by a bolt and spacer. The plugs will probably interchange,
but at a minimum you have to change the screen too, since the holes are
different sizes.

Apparently so. Brian Schlorff tells me he tightens them to 120-150 ft lb.
I was using maybe half that.
