I just did'nt know they had full flow filter's. Could some one verify this info for me . thanks Don

There are some pictures and and explanation at Jim Carter's site. http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/Tips/261_six.htm | | |

Just a side note. That also means that you can't use filters other than a full-flow--like a bee hive or those for the 235's. | | |

The motor I have is a 58 261, that I have never heard run. But have big plans for it, I saw this and knew it needed to be checked out. I saw this at the site listed in sixwildo 's reply.
