Subject: [oletrucks] Fram Questions Again
> Thanks to help here on the oletrucks list, I now know which port to
>tap for pressure and return on my '59 235. As to the color question, I took
>the canister down to the local True Value hardware store and matched the
>original color with the cap on the spray bombs. I got the one with the
>closest match and went back to the shop and shot a test patch on white
>cardboard. The test patch showed a very close color balance, close to a
>modern Fram orange, and just a shade or two brighter than the vintage
sample.
> I am going to call this close enough as I would be surprised if the
>original paint didn't darken over the years with heat and oil vapor. The
>paint is XO Rust Interior/Exterior Enamel, XO-27 Orange, and the cost was
>just about $4.50 plus extortion. I long ago found that the ordinary
hardware
>store brand spray bombs work just as well as "engine" enamel.
> I still have a few questions that nobody ventured an answer to.

> 1. The pressure hose runs from the rear of the block where the oil
>pressure gauge is tapped to the "inlet" port on the south side of the Fram
>canister. The other port in the block (now plugged by the partially rounded
>off bung) is the return from the canister to the engine. Where does the
>"return" line connect to the canister? The only other possible connection I
>can find is the drain plug on the bottom - surely not there?

> 2. Should the filter unit be mounted ahead or behind the carbie?

> 3. Any ideas about the best way to winkle the bung out of the block?
>I hate to use an easy out!
