261's do not seen to follow the same time line for changes as 235's.
A 1958 235 would not have the oil line behind the side cover.
If your 261 has the oil line it should have 1950-58 style rockers.
Those rockers will have the groove inside each rocker in the center and the rocker connecter tube will not be pinched off.
