mrfeez Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 On my 63 Avanti (289) I have a opening about 1 inch in diameter that appears to be threaded, it is located about 3 inches in back of the Oil drain plug, can anyone tell me what this is for ? Thank You ( I'm working outside under the car, no garage) Old Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Sounds like it may be the 1" opening (hole) at bottom center of the torque converter housing provided to access the torque converter drain plug.

Gunslinger Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Isn’t that the access hole to drain the torque converter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
