Hey fellas, (235cui 1957)
I am looking to see what the oil line looks like from the bottom of the oil filter to the block. I have nothing to compare it to. I replaced my oil lines with steel fuel lines.
Can these lines be purchased at any auto parts store? What size line do I need?
The reason I used the steel lines is because I have dual exuast, and the exaust pipes get tin the way of the rubber oil lines (too hot) so, I used steel line. Problem: oil lines too stiff...causing leaks. SUGGESTIONS?? Thx

I have a '58 235 in my '51. I run Fenton headers and had the same problem you have. I called Patrick's Antique and he sent me a set of "long" lines and now I have no problem.
