plumbing for remote oil filter

John, all the Ford engines that are pre metric have the same thread and mounting flange for the filter. I should add v8. The fram ph8a or equivalent can be used on small blocks, fe's, clevelands and the 385 series. I used to keep one filter for all. They all have 3/4 x 16 threads. The gasket flange is 2.42 id and 2.8 od.

John: how is the oil filter project?

I got the part that I needed but the whole project is on hold. I had planned to start on it June 1 but I am not sure now. I had bought a Ranger pickup to installed the 460 but I was promised a title with the truck when I bought it and so far I do not have one. I violated one of my rules when I bought the truck without the title, and now I am the sucker again. He is not returning my calls, or answering my text. I will start looking for another Ranger.

Ouch! Is small claims court an option for restitution?

Sadly the previous owner is over a hundred miles from me and the distance makes it hard to resolve the problem. I will continue to try to get a title from him but the expense and time involved would not justify any legal option. The truck would scrap out what I paid for it without a title. Unfortunately it is exactly the year and model I wanted.

man O man John... that situation is a pain.

Over the years... When I break one of my own rules. I often get screwed.

John: Any luck on another Ford Ranger ?

I will explain more later but the title issue may be resolved.
