The number stamped in block behind the Dist. is FI1090R.It has a screw on oil filter at the front on the dist side.So it is newer than the '54 I have.
Thanks for the help

No 235 had a screw-on oil filter (from the factory/dealer). No 235 normally had a GM factory/dealer oil filter on the distributor side. Can you post a photo of the oil filter? Can you post a photo of that "Engine Serial Number"? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 506 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 506 | The letter "R" is a big truck. Decode your serial #The block casting # will help identify the engine size, and the block casting date code will confirm the year. Maybe you got lucky and inherited a 261.
