Are there any caveats that I should be aware of when removing and replacing the oil lines to and from the filter of my 232 block?



I also need a source for the two stickers that go on the filter housing body and top. I think HudsonKid was also looking or had some lined up but I can not find that thread.

Use 1/8 pipe fittings and Neoprene oil hose and line clamps. Been on my 53 for 102,000 miles and no problems.

Actually Dave, we are using a stationary resistance test that we also employ to calculate wing deflection coefficients under load. I am using the standard smoke test and infrared high speed cameras to test the funnel tapers that as you are well aware from our last discussions form just below the rear windshield on the Hudson when the speed rises above 65 mph. I am testing this effect to see if this is responsible for the wind loaded lowering of a stepdown at speed. I am sure that the Hudson engineers stumbled on this beneficial effect by chance and not through conscious design. I will update you more on the findings as I progress.

Sorry to have digressed so far from the original topic of where to find filter stickers but since I answered that on the first page I do not feel so guilty.

If the filter is mounted on the block use metal lines. If the filter is on the inner fender you must use flexible lines.
