bear351c 10,270 Posted September 15, 2014 OK, will have a look in the daylight, got power steering pump in the way, probably why I couldn't find it. Cheers, mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bear351c 10,270 Posted September 16, 2014 Ok, I've looked and looked, even with a torch, can't see it anywhere. Left hand side has Alternator, right has power steer pump. Any hints>??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Polson 10,214 Posted September 16, 2014 Is it above the engine mounts? Early xflow blocks have them there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gregaust 319 Posted September 17, 2014 When I said right I meant right side of car or drivers side. Adjacent to water pump bolt is a flat area possibly there ? Behind alternator. 2 revhead and bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revhead 1,392 Posted September 17, 2014 250 cu behind water pump on drivers side of motor, 200cu on little flat area above drivers side engine mount 1 bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xd4.1efisc 34 Posted September 17, 2014 xbcool is on the money, its on the passenger side at rear of block where the top of the bellhousing meets the block. In that picture at the top if you go towards the rear of where the 72DA number is you should find it. Xflows: XC-XE had it at the drivers side engine mount, XF (and possible some late XEs) drivers side near water pump. 1 bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
