Hi all well I have just started my new engine (216cc) for my 42 truck. Now the question is I am setting up the Oil filter system and I am not sure which line is inlet from the block near the oil distributer and which is return to the block Cheers Justin
I just went through this with my engine This picture shows the connections.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road.
That picture is from a high-pressure 235 block, but the relative orientation should be the same on an earlier low-pressure block that has the oil distributor near the middle of the block (as described by Aus42blackout).
The inlet is the same port that feeds the oil pressure gauge. It enters the canister on the side. The outlet is the bottom port of the canister and attaches by the distributor valve. My distributor valve is different from yours so I can't point you to the exact port.

I've got the Fram instructions I'll sneak a peek at when I get a chance. It attaches directly to the distributor on my '38 but that whole assembly changed in '40 so I really don't know for sure.

The Fram instructions aren't really that clear. The illustration is rudimentary at best. The written directions only say to remove the plug behind the exhaust pipe and screw the fitting in. It may well have nothing to do with the distributor valve. Sorry if I muddied the water.

Not with this computer & I don't store photos on line any longer. The intake is on the side & the outlet is on the bottom.

Other computer now. Here's my filter and the Fram instructions.

ok thanks every one the info has helped a lot, as I was a bit unsure because the oil filter system was not assembled when I purchased the truck. Cheers Justin
