Help me find the Oil Pressure fitting
I'm gearing up to hang this beast and looking to find the port for the oil pressure restrictor fitting. Please Help
Overall picture of Engine:
Here there are two ports with allen plugs adjacent to the upper right engine mount. They appear to serve the same purpose? Should i use one of these (left or Right)?
Here is a larger fitting with an allen plug in front of what I believe is the prop governor adapter, what's this one for?
Thanks,

There are 2 plugs just above the right mag - either will work.

Plug
The plug on the side is difficult to access after the engine is mounted, it is very close to the mount ring tube. The aft facing plug is much more accessable. Most older engines have only the side plug.

The lower, large diameter plug is an oil return to the sump.

In the top photo it appears to be the oil screen ----- large flange and safety wire.
