I am working on a 1958 F100 with a Y-block 272 motor. I am just starting on my project and noticed things are a little different then todays motors and I have a lot to learn with this project. Anyways I am trying to figure out what these three items on my motor are. If any one could help it would be greatly appreciated.

1.) I am assuming this is a fuel pump or filter

2.) I am not sure if this is an oil filter of some sort.

3.) ?

 

3 is the oil filter canister. There is a replacable element inside. Not sure what no. 2 is right off hand.

You should consider buying a shop manual, it will be you good friend! Tons of helpful and interesting info.

 

Number 3 is the oil filter canister, like Spurdon said. Number 2 it the crank case blow-by filter. Number 1 is the fuel pump!
Good luck in your quest!

 

Thanks you so much guys! I will have to see if I can round up some conversion kit so I can use a spin on oil filter commonly sold today. I think i will need to round up a manual to the shopping list. Any you guys recommend? I don't see any Haynes or Chilton manuals.

 

Eric here you go.

Why mess (in more ways than one) with the old by-pass cannister oil filter when you can install a gen-u-ine Ford full flow Spin-On oil filter using its adapter kit instead?

While this kit was introduced in 1957, it was an option on some 1957/64's. I just looked this same puppy up for a member of the 1961/66 forum.

B7A-6882-A .. Spin-On Oil Filter Adapter Kit - Use with Motorcraft FL-1A Oil Filter (most common oil filter used 1957/96) / Obsolete / 1,537 (!!) available NOS.
