Oil filter

[ian]

My 9/69 has a canister style filter that's mounted on the passenger side of the engine bay. Fiber wrapped hoses run over the top of the engine to feed the thing (they're badly frayed). SOR says the canisters were disco'ed 3/69. I see SOR has both a kit that uses hoses to modernize the system and and also bracket style filter base that mounts to the engine.

What are my options for upgrading this dinosaur? I assume I'm stuck with the hose based system. My oil flowing through hoses and banjo bolts.. ugh.

Thanks!

Passenger side of the engine bay? WTF

You sure it's not a 2F?

Those would have to be the LONGEST oil filter hoses IN THE WORLD.








BTW, I hand delivered your stuff to the post office already.

This thread reminded me - I've got one of these SOR remote oil filter kits on my '73 55 - where in the heck does it bolt up...it's just hanging by the lines right now (like I found it!).

All I've got left of my engine assy is the carb rebuild this weekend...so I probably need to figure this out soon

The filter holder bolts to the intake manifold.

the filter bolts to the in take with U bolts. and that is not a $OR part it's a toyota update you can get it at the dealer for 1/2 the cost. Also it sould take a Ford filter Fram PH 8A, or K&N 3001

Mark: That's the same thing I said when I first looked under the hood. Each line must be 4' long. The lines go up and over the top too.

Why would you think it's a 2F? Pretty sure it's not .

Good to know about it being OEM. I'll PM Sr. C-Dan and save some coin.

Because the factory 2F has the filter mounted on the passenger side.

All be damn - that's not where I thought it would go...but there it is in full color. Now I just have to figure out how to get it back around the exhaust w/o taking it off

Fun!
