specific engine type

[skeeter1984sf]

I have a 1985 johnson 150 gt. model #j150stlcos. is this a 60 degree v engine.

I am going to install a water pressure guage and if the instuctions are correct I need to
install an elbow on the port head at the water pressure plug. is this plug at the top or bottom of the engine and what would be the details of its descripion? the instructions are only good if this a 60 degree v engine.

does it need to be a tee fitting so the water still discharges or an elbow straight to the guage?

You have a flat back motor on the bottom STBD side where the tell tale hose goes out install a T there, run the hose up through the PORT side access where the Electical wires go through, If you are brave and have skills with a drill, you can drill a hole in the controll cable lower motor grommet on the STBD side.
