I went to the local parts store here and no one stocks the frame filter they cross it over to Wix number but I don't think Wix provides that o-ring. Checked it out on Ebay and there's no o-ring in the pictures. Looks like another online purchase.

thank you ever so much!

there wasn't one there originally

oh my I deffenty don't have that!

one thing worth mentioning is the bolt on the clamp. I would tighten the clamp down but the original bolt would bottom out and cap was not secure. I replaced it with a full threaded bolt. for the seal i didn't pay much attention to what one i used i just fitted it with one that fit.

The filter housing was original to the engine. I haven't checked the guage since it was leaking really bad that the engine only ran for 10 seconds I will try tomorrow and see what the gauge reads. the seal I used cam with the filter. I took my time on the clamp to make sure it's around both flanges it seem solid and secure.

hey guys I've been using this forum regularly for many situations and I thank you all for all the info here. I rebuilt my 251 for my 49 chrysler Windsor and started it up for the first time yesterday and everything's all good except the oil filter housing seem to be building pressure and leaking everywhere out the seams. I pulled the relief valve and it came out no problem spring seems to be in good condition. I am thinking that there might be a restriction in the return line internal in the housing. Does the oil drain out of the housing when engine is off? I have a gasket between the cap and clamp is tight. I've got a wix filter that seems 1/4in too long but I manage to still get the cap on. I thought it would be a failed relief but it moves freely. Oil pump is brand new. any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Ok guys thanks for all your input you saved me from butchering a hub just in frustration. I got a puller from my work that worked with very little effort I should of known "right tool for the job" Thanks again next will be the distribution tube but I think there's enough threads and on this one.

That may very well be my issue I've been simply installing the puller screw shaft into the hole of the crank as my push method, Ill get a steel plug bolt that fits and try that.

I think your right Dodgeb4ya I work at a Ford dealer so I'll see what if any pullers are available to me. I've been using just a cheap puller I got at Princess Auto that I've pretty much destroyed trying to get this hub off. If not we'll see what the local rental has to offer. I did find a thread on here suggesting a 5 ton Beam Style puller, I think this would be ideal

Hello There I am new to posting on this wonderful forum but I have been using the wisdom and knowledge through out. I have a 1949 Windsor that my son and I have been working on. I have pulled the engine and am in the midst of taking things apart preparing for rebuild and here is my real first snag I had no problems taking the big nut out and balancer but the pulley hub on the crank is completely fused on. Today I tried lots of heat and penetrant using a puller but no success Has anyone had problems here? any suggestions? I am at the point of cutting slits on two ends to relieve the pressure.
