There is a 1/8" pipe threaded hole in the lower left side of the block just above where the side of the block rounds out about a foot from therear. On 1950 and up blocks the mmain oil gallery that the pressure is taken from bludges out farther and its centered in this hump (foot from the rear).....the hump is smaller on 1949 and older blocks.
