Hey fellars,
I have a '51 3100 p/u and a freshly rebuilt later model 235 (3769716) block and (-----848)head only that were given to me.(cast number is 1961 full pressure) my problem is I have the original 216 and 2 older 235s that are complete & have been very helpful with spare parts. However I need a oil pump and filter system setup. I'm pretty sure i need a oil pump (m-45) its shorter and the holes are different than the other 3 pumps i have. (that are all the same) I would like an external remote filter mount and spin on filter.
Is it that simple for the full pressure 235 that I have?
I'm drowning in spare parts that are making me confused about the oil system. The 216 is a splash type and the older 235s are only partial pressure?
I Just what to make sure that I have the right oil system and pressure when i fire up.
THE LATER MODEL 235 I HAVE, WHAT EXTERNAL PLUMBING AND FILTER IS RECOMMEND? THE PSI DIFF BETWEEN THE OLDER AND THE NEWER MAKES ME THINK THAT THE EXTERNAL FILTER ON THE OLDER IS ONLY THE LOW % FILTRATION AND THE HIGHER PSI ON THE LATER 235 I WILL BE USING IS FULL FILTRATION?
BASICALLY I'M TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHAT I CAN USE OFF THE OTHER OLDER 235S AND WHAT I NEED TO BUY.
OIL PUMP? EXTERNAL FILTER OR RESUSE?
Thanks for all your help, mike
