Just inherited a rebuilt 61 215.
I am wondering if the 2 threaded holes above the cam in the rear of the block just get filled with threaded plugs.
They are just empty right now.
Thanks for helping a newbie to british v8!
Cheers
John.

Welcome John, Yes, tapered pipe thread. 1/4 npt. I believe. Make sure to use a suitabl,oil resistant sealer on the threads. Do NOT over- tighten as this can distort the cam bearing bore. Good Luck, roverman.
