Sweet,

I hope you do not mind that I copied your photos and lightened up the dark one (the "plug-in" photo), and then I put those photos on a quick-and-dirty web page, side-by-side.

1958-1963 261 engines oil filter options

If anyone has a 58-63 261 block and can take a good photo of the "port" for the by-pass filter lines, please post a link to the photo and I add it to that web page.

If anyone has a 58-63 Canadian 261 block and can take a good photo of the oil filter "ports", please post a link to the photo and I add it to that web page.

Thanks,


Tim

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
