I've got a line on what appears to be a 1957 (possibly 55 or 56) 6400. It's got a staight 6 engine. I've not been able to look and see if it has the "captains bars" of the 261 or not. So I'm guessing it is either a 235 or a 261.

If it is a 261, is this the full flow oil engine or not? Any differences between this engine and the 261 they made in 1961?

The valve and push rod covers are painted yellow. Does this mean anything?

It's NOT a newer 6 cylinder, as it has the old motor mounts up front, not on the sides.

Thanks.
