The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Oil bypass canister line sizes???

Does anyone know the correct length for the oil bypass canister lines on a 55.1 1/2ton with a 235??? Found a few companies that sell them in pairs, but which ones are the correct length...14in/18in, 13in/19in, 15in/20in.

Also, does anyone sell the restriction fitting to maintain oil pressure when using the bypass canister...Can't seem to find that. I believe it is a fitting with a 1/16th inch orifice???

Thanks,

If you're using an original bypass filter, the restrictor is built into it, no additional restriction is necesary.

If you have the 1954 AC oil filter, get the longest set of lines that you list.

15" and 20"

Where did you see these for sale? I need a pair.

Thanks,

Yes, just took mine off a 56 gmc 270, cleaned and painted, the restrictor is in the top threaded fitting pressed into the canister. I wondered why the small orifice.

Tim, yes it is the SC-653 canister. I mistyped..... I meant to type 18in/20in (not 15in/20in). Here is the link to the longest ones I have found. Are these the ones? http://www.classicparts.com/1941-59-Oil-Filter-Lines-6-Cylinder/productinfo/84-151/

Thanks, Paul,

I do not know what length lines were originally supplied.

Supposedly, the lines were longer in 53-55 compared to 1952. I have bought sets of lines from reproduction parts vendors that were too short.

Maybe someone with an SC-653 has installation instructions with part numbers? Supposedly, the 1954 AC hose part number included the length of the hose in the code?

Here is the 1940-1952 instruction sheet.

It shows 17" & 13". That would make the 1954 lines be 18" & 14"?
