Oil Galley plugs at Camshaft

toolmanmike said
My 66 273 had threaded plugs in the rear and soft plugs in the front. I drilled through the cam plate and then 1/64" hole through the soft plug on the passenger side to lube the timing chain. It was recommended in one of the "How to hot rod small block books". Right or wrong, it works.

Ok, that's what I'm talking about right here. The only thing I'd do differently is skip the plugs and just drill the plate. I don't get the redundancy of the plug.

But THATS how it SHOULD be done if you want to actually oil the timing set.
