Does anyone know if the T-fittings that go on the side of the oil filter canister is still available? It has a .060 hole to resist oil flow. I went to take it of the canister an broke the dang thing off. I have a similar set up on another flat head out in the back shed that has a strait fitting and the oil sending unit is lower on the block. I would like to save that setup for that engine. Dale

 

I bought another fitting, brazed it up and then drilled a hole. Seems to work fine.

 

The straight fitting is still available, nowhere I know of for the Tee.

Thank's Ross for looking up the part number for me. I'll have to think on which way to go on on that one. It will be a bit before we get to that step. We painted the engine last night.We used Bill Hirsch Lin Merc Lt green from a spray can. Two can's were enough to do the job. It looked good last night. We'll have to see what it looks like this morning in a better light.
