Got the engine running again and timed almost correctly. New issue is that I seem to have a hole in the passenger side of the block, slightly above the oil level inside the block and located below the Number Two cylinder (right behind the alternator, under the fuel pump). The hole is threaded. When the engine idles, no oil comes out. When the engine is gunned or idles high, oil splashes out.

Apparently, I seem to have lost whatever it was that went in this hole.... What was in this hole? I currently have a short bolt threaded into it to keep the oil in but am not sure if this is a good idea or not.

Anyone know what this is and what I need to put back in that hole?

Thanks,
John
