[Chevelle-list] Oil filter SBC

During the assembly of my motor (original 350 from 92) I ordered an oil filter from K & N prod # HP-2002. Surprisingly to me the block has no “bolt” for the filter. 1. Have I ordered the filter? Looks pretty normal to me 2. Is something missing on block? Or do I have some special bloc

Hans, That block was probably setup for a remote oil filter, and you will either need the remote kit, or the 'spin on' adapter to allow you to install the oil filter. Shawn On May 30, 2006, at 2:19 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: During the assembly of my motor (original 350 from 92) I o

Looks like you're missing the oil filter adapter assembly. I think they're all the same from 68 and up when Chevrolet went from the canister filter to the spin-on. Check with you Chevy dealer. Last part # I have is from 75 but _was_ group 1.840, #3952301 Dale McIntosh 67 El Camino 1967 Chevelle

Get the one without EEC if you are not in California.  Make sure you get a vented gas cap for it too or you will run into vapor lock issues.  The fitting coming out of the tank in the center is your sending unit that feeds the fuel to the engine.  Get a new sending unit as well.   Tom
