Use the plugged hole on top of the intake hat.

No I wish I had taken more when I was tearing several engines down, removing this or that or building this or that.

Long ago I found it was so much easier to post a picture than it was to type an explanation and make it clear enough for someone that may have no clue what I am talking about.

As a matter of fact, I think this was one of the first pictures I took when I got a digital camera.
I just could not get someone to relate to where that plug was located since most of them have a flat screw head on them.
