I'm ready to install the oil filter option on my 53 truck with a 55' 235 stovebolt in it. I never really even thought about it until I was ready to put it on and realized that I have no information on where it is hooked up. This engine has a small hole in the head about halfway just where the oiler tube is under the valve cover. I'm sure that is the pressure side but where do I place the return line? Silly question to many I suppose but I have spent little time on 6 bangers and appearently didn't pay that much attention to the small things. Funny too is that of all the inliner info I have accumulated there is nothing at all about the optional dealer installed Fram filter.

I'm sure this will turn out to be one of those "it's so obvious you can't see it" deals and then I will feel like a dummy but that has never kept me quite before... wink

Did you find an answer to your question yet?

I was looking through the past posts and found yours without any replies frown
I think Tony M has a pic of his O/F set-up on his `54


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

that engine bears some small resemblance to the grease and dirt covered hunk of metal under my hood, i think i saw some dirt actually running away from that engine in the picture!
