I believe so. I even stuck a screwdriver in there to be sure.

Confirmed this was a blind hole as well. I put the oil sender in the other hole nearby. Also got the manifolds sorted and finally got the engine back in. Now I’m working through some sniper stuff. Note that the chrome sniper was not my first choice, just happened to find it on Facebook marketplace for a good deal.

I could use some help from those with Snipers.

1. The connector was torn off of the wires for the sniper display. Anyone got a photo that shows the order that the wires are terminated in the connector? I got a new connector and terminals. Photo below is from Holley, but I’m not certain the sniper is the same.
2. What are folks doing with the unused connectors/wiring? Just zip tied up near the firewall?

Another unexpected issue. I purchased an Aisin water pump (WPT-063), which is supposed to be the version for a fan clutch, no oil cooler?? But my fan is touching the radiator. Reminder, this is the original 2F, which had a direct drive fan previously. Fan and clutch are new Aisin parts. I know the pump is shorter than the direct drive version. Is there a specific clutch I need? The one I have is Aisin FCT-017.

I don’t think there’s much radiator adjustment because of the braces on each side.

I have a 2 injector sniper 550-850 in Black. I believe the shiny one you have is 550-849, but I believe the connections for the display should be the same. I haven't connected all the wiring but will be relatively soon. Pic below my display connector - same as the one you pulled from Holley site...
