I looked closely at my block last night and it seems that there isn't a dowel there. What the? It is a 261 by the casting code, no dowel on the driver side, but there are two dowelish things on the passenger side by the distributor hole. Please educate me some more fellas.
My guess, as stated above, is that it is a 62 261 locked into bypass mode by means of not having the dowel to switch.
The engine is a 62
3769717
The head came with it and is a 848.
The lines in the block are the little guys.
The filter I wanted to use had the big lines (full flow).
But I think I will go with the bypass system for now as it will be easiest to do at this point.
