- 75 C8 super, 65 LI custom, 84 wheelhorse 3-12, 57 Farmall 230
Hello guys, well the 59-65 LI custom finally started today with Richards rebuild carb. Turn around time from Richard was exceptional. The only problem is that the oil pressure gage zoomed clear to the top and stayed there so I shut it down. I checked all the lines, found a check valve in the oil filler hole outlet. It seemed OK, Must be the oil filter Richard sent me. Doesnt make sense. I have the full flow system, all oil goes through the filter, the filter will not pass oil. Seems to me I read somewheres that there is a certain amount of back pressure needed in the filter, but I think there is a little to much in this one. I did not know at the time I ordered it that my engine was actually a 59. But everything else was a LI custom from the mid sixty's. I mentioned on ordering that I thought the engine was a mid 60s. So wouldn't the 6.6 engine with the full flow filter take the same filter regardless of the year? The filter I got was smaller than the fram PH8A, black, and had super tech on the label. In the morning I will go get a fram PH8A
Also what is the deal with the check valve?
Another thing, the order was shipped so fast the spark plug never made it in the box. So I called around, I think it was a W14? I cant remember now, anyway what to do for a plug. Thanks!
