Re: Super 8 Oil Screen

I removed the oil pressure unit on the side of the pan which is in line with and close to the oil drain plug. It seems the loose tube I described above is attached to the oil sending unit, although I don't understand how it works.

Based on the fact a boroscope shows the pan to be free of sludge as far as the scope will go into the pan and the oil pickup screen is clean plus the fact I was sent the wrong oil pan gasket set, I have decided to not drop the pan but to put the new screw-on filter in the reproduction oil filter can, fill with new oil and start her up. Just hope I have not messed up anything in the oil sending unit and that the gauge will show proper oil pressure when I crank up the engine. I guess the proper procedure would be to disconnect the coil wire, turn off the fuel pump and crank the engine for a minute or so to get the oil filter and the repro can it is mounted in full of oil before firing the engine. I'm running blind here with no Packard experience and hope there would have been more input from knowledgeable Packard folks on this forum.

Is there another Packard forum a newbie like me should be using for these kinds of questions instead of this one?
