Stupid quick question

I'm working on my truck and bought the oil and the filter but as I'm about to put the oil in I remember I don't know where to put it. Its a 1968 360

Your driver side breather should unscrew and allow you to add oil.

Please oh please purchase a maintenance/repair manual (Haynes/Chilton) so you can learn about your truck!!! Only about $20 from your local Autozone.

They've all got it right...your engine looks to be in good shape, but when I see an old nasty dirty one I just suggest to pour the first quart on the outside to lessen the wait time for it to appear.

This also saves wear on the different seals and gaskets, as they don't have to pass as much oil through.

Where's that one brake line going that's running through the firewall? Do you have a brake controller under the dash?

Also, if you type "1968 Ford F-100" and "FTE" in a Google search with your question you will turn up dozens of threads from this site. Almost ANY basic question you will have has already been answered here. Do this first and, even if you don't have your exact question answered, you will be able to ask better questions.

Which repair manual from Autozone do you speak of? My local has nothing for 67-72. I even looked online and cant find a 67-72 Haynes.

Online has the cd-rom set, the blue cover, 5 volume set for around $26, any good?

Forget about the Autozone manuals. Find a old hard back motors manual online, or else the chiltons 1965-86 ford truck book.

This is a very true statement, but you will get ribbed.

Did a can of Petty Blue spill on that engine.
