Re: Oil Filter Lines

Well I got the inlet line made. So that went pretty smoothly.
Trying to remove the plug in the block that drains back in the pan for the return line was a bear. I don't think that plug has been touched since it rolled off the line at Grand Ave in '54.
But I finally broke it loose. Then I discovered that the plug is actually a smaller size (3/16) than the fitting on the bottom of the filter (1/4). So I need to pick up a 1/4 to 3/16 adapter to be able to finish plumbing the lines.
So far all the new lines look good and straight with nice smooth bends. Not like the rusted lines I had before, which had more kinks that a New York Governor!
