Yes, it is at the end of the left side lifter gallery, and would leak off pretty much all of the oil pressure on that side.If all the plugs were removed at time of rebuild, make sure the plug that can be viewed if you pull the distributor was reinstalled.
???? Symptoms are getting mixed up here... Cam position has no role in getting oil to the left lifter gallery.
Doh.Turns out silver68gt was right. Went to look for plug, and no plug was there. Thanks a bunch for all of your help

On a small block:
Turn the motor to 90* before top dead center coming up on #1 compression. The pass. side rockers should get oil.
Turn the motor to 20* after top dead center just past #6 compression. The drivers side rockers should get oil.

Glad I could help. The only way I knew of that plug, was last week I tore my 273 down to send out to the machine shop. I'm new to this forum and habbit (hobby). Been a mechanic all my life. What I need help with is selecting the proper parts (ie: pistons, cam, intake manifold, carb and where to find them) to get what I want out of this 68 Dart. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Turns out silver68gt was right. Went to look for plug, and no plug was there. Thanks a bunch for all of your help
