I'm just not able to remove the slotted cylinder plug. So I'm going to use... "modify a bottom hose w/heater take off, replace the top hose with this modified hose, and insert the temp capillary sensor into the shortened heater take-off hose." Do I seal the capillary sensor with just a hos...

Thanks Alex for the conformation. I'm wondering what else I might find that's been modified, hopefully for the best!

Thanks all for the replies. Your feedback and experience is very helpful and most appreciated, and the best teacher! I've removed the battery and have it on a charger. Yes, it is a negative earth setup. I understood that the MM 1000's were set up as positive earth. Because this is a 1967 LHD model w...

Much to my surprise the battery has been drawn down due to the car door staying open for a few days (in the garage with the interior light on!) So I'm going to charge the battery and see if that will work or I'll be shopping for a new battery. Here's a pic of my 1967 Morris 1000, 1098cc battery. I'd...

I'm in Gilbert, Arizona. I'll be looking around town to find something to help remove the plug.
If I can't get it to move I may change plans about installing the temp sensor.
The engine serial number plate is CME-U-H 411.

Currently experiencing great difficulty in removing the slotted plug from the head. Not enough room for vise grips and a screw driver won't turn it. Is there another location on the block? Could I tap into the radiator bottom drain plug? Any ideas?

Here's the temp sensor end, "slotted" block plug, and glove box cutout pics after resizing.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1393559572_20478 [/frame][frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1393559639_20478 [/frame][frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1393559676_20478 [/f...

Trying to download the pics

Thanks to all for the posts and great photos. It looks like I have the male fitting type.
I'll start looking for the adapters from the mentioned sources.
Attached are photos of the end fitting, "slotted" plug, and my glove box gauge cutout.

I'm installing a non-electrical dual/combined 2" Smiths Oil Pressure and Engine Temp gauge and need to know about the two adapters to the engine block for the 1967 Morris Minor 1098cc. My first question is concerning the oil pressure fitting and location. Would I need to use a "T" pie...

Thanks for the information on my question and your quick reply!

I'd like to remove the factory (under the dash) heater from my 1967 MM 1000. I don't use the heater in Arizona and it takes up a lot of room under the dash, above the parcel shelf. I plan on adding a instrument gauge cluster (oil pressure, water temp and tachometer) under the dash where the heater c...
