Chevyboy62,
So your connection is right after all.... :p
Your lines are connected properly for the bypass cannister.
You can buy a brand new set of oil filter lines at
www.chevyduty.com for $24. They will fit the cannister with the input on the right side.
There is another cannister (same style, but with the input on the left side), which was bolted to the right side of the manifold (for other vehicles without the gearbox right next to the manifold).
For this one the input oil line from ChevyDuty will be too short by a few inches and you have to make a 1/4 brass extension pipe with fittings.
www.stovebolt.com/techtips/full_pressure.htm shows the conversion of a 235 to full-pressure-filter.
But I believe it will lower the oil pressure somewhat.
If you change your oil regularly (2-3 times a year for a daily driver, using the same brand oil) and don't run the engine on high rpm all the time, the bypass filter is just fine.
Plus with a full-pressure-filter you can blow up your engine if it ever fails to work properly...
The thing I like about the 235 is that is so simple with little that can go wrong.
Introducing more features also increases the chances of something going wrong with them.
Just look at all the modern high tech vehicles with their 'improvements' :rolleyes:
One day everything is fine - next day you are on the side of the freeway with a tiny problem that disables the entire system...
