Hi All,
Newbie here.. just bought a 1952 M37 from a fire department. It has an open, unsealed port in the bottom of (I think) the clutch bell housing. Thread size appears to be 1"-12 but am not certain. Why does a dry clutch have this port - for inspection? This bell housing is supposed to be dry... right? I assume I just need to find the right plug and insert it. Can anyone explain this & tell me where to buy the plug? (I got a "pan drain plug" for $8.00 from Midwest Military, but the diameter is slightly too small, I guess it's for the oil pan).
Thank you!
