Block Features (front)
1. Plugged dipstick hole used for cars and pre-1980 4x2 trucks with front-sump oil pans. All '80-up trucks require a rear-sump oil pan to clear a crossmember, so all '80-'82 M-blocks use the left side, oil pan dipstick mounting.
2. Coolant temperature sending unit.
Note the circled area with no raised web beside the distributor hole.
