Does anyone know if there is a tap for a water pressure gauge on a 1973 Chrysler 70 model 707HF? Putting this motor on a bass boat that has the gauge and it would be nice to hook it up. <br />Thanks

I can't speak specifically for your engine but my 1972 85HP has the place for it.<br /><br />Shane

I've looked to see if there is a plugged port on the water jacket somewhere. The only place that might work is a plug at the base of the block near the intake but not sure if this is water. Can you tell me where your port is located on block?

The gauge would have to be mounted on head or on the top of the block.<br /><br />TMD

I was wondering if there is an existing tap on the motor to plug my tube into. Turtle, where is yours attached to the block?

Mine is located on the very top of the head. It is to the right of the Thermostat.<br /><br />Shane
