[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 38865, member: 55"] Alright, much better with color. I am led to believe that is lower unit lube, solely by the fact that I don't believe there is any other passage down there. Exhaust is let out a bit higher than that, so it wouldn't be carbon and unburned oil, unless the passage was different in '67 than it was in both earlier and later years. Does the hole look factory, or "aftermarket" (okay, lets say accidental :lol: )? Also, have you run the motor in water yet? If so, I would drain the lower unit lube, and look for water, or milky colored lube coming out. If you haven't run it, and the lube had been changed after the last time it was ran, it would be kinda pointless to check for water. That motor should be alright on 50:1 oil mix. [/QUOTE]
