    DCW no I didnt I just have pump supply in and clean oil out my original by pass way the tiny line to dump back to pan this filter housing has a spring and plunger in it so if the filter plugs or oil is cold it will go around filter and still supply engine with oil I figure dirty oil is better than no oil

    I know it’s not original but finding original parts is getting tough so I figure if I can put new parts that are available and they work I try it out my next project is trying to find a freight liner fld or super liner axle with budd or hub pilot wheels to put under the front but I haven had much luck and what I have found is a little out of my price range for something I take to car shows

    Thanks mechohaulic I’m happy with it I’m just glad it has oil pressure when I start it . That hose is like that cause the pipe is round but the intake manifold port is some what oval so it distorts the rubber and it’s 2 different sizes so there is a step in the rubber there . It has the crimped together manifold not tahr cast one cause I added the turbo

    Summit racing sells automotive paint I think mine was 100 for the a gallon of paint the reducer and activator it strayed nice and still looks good there epoxy primer and the fill and sand primer is reasonable too but there limited on colors if you mix like your saying only problem is if you run out and need more it’s tough to get that same mix but I guess if you exact measure how mutch black you add to a gallon of green I guess you could get close

    Your right Larry I was reading all your old posts about it and it’s so hard to find the older parts mine was just like yours a good 25 seconds to get oil pressure I didn’t like that I let it sit a day and had oil pressure in a few seconds the housing has I bypass built in so it will divert around the filter if it’s plugged or reall cold oil so I figured I’m safe with that . I’ll paint it all up to match the engine paint that yellow filter gray and it will be good as new

    My dads friend had a 63 1/2 galaxie 427 convertible 4 speed car he bought it new pulled the engine out in the 70 s to put in a stock car that thing sat in his garage for years my dad convinced him to just get it out one day took off the stack of tarps and blankets and low and behold the car still looked new except for the back bumper dad rebuilt the 427 for him ad we stuffed it back in was all original paint and everything then dad told me he sold it I was told local ford garage gave him 80,000 for it cause it was all original even the top and interior .

    I’m changing to a spin on filter because I always have to wait for the oil pressure to build when I start it seems like the housing is always dry when I removed it not much oil came out I’ll see if this helps . Also when I removed the plate off of the block I removed the spring and plunger the spring was stuck in the plug when I removed it a bunch of nuts fell out what I can tell somone used the wrong plug witch if the spring didn’t fit right and there would be no spring pressure so I remover the nuts and put in a spacer to put the spring slightly spaced into the plug

    Yes that was there to drain the housing

    Here it is with the new housing I need to get 1 more elbow for the top front fitting

    Figured I would start this project today this is before I started I have a remote caterpillar filter base I’m going to install

    Sounds like low voltage or possibly a bad switch somewhere it voltage should run through every thing then to solonids so dash switches clutch switch and switch at pump should be checked
  15. Mean Green
    That be it

    Wow that’s something we have big diesel water pumps and they used the dodge couplings that looked like an inside out tire that has a split in it that cool you work there
  17. Mean Green
    Dodge couplings may have something we use those for water pumps

    My tank is different than yours I don’t have the grating in the step area you just step on the tank I have a local guy taht has one in his junk yard I’m trying to get the tanks and mounts off of it
  23. Mean Green
    I like the dual fuel tanks too I have one on the left and I made a big battery box on the right my scrapper buddy gave me a piece of stainless storm grate I made into a step I hope to find matching tanks and just go dual tanks

    It looks good mine has an aluminum one I had to weld a bunch of holes shut then I belt sanded it to flatten it back out I kicked around a chrome one but they all seem too wide
  25. Mean Green
