jpartington Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I ran across the oil filter housing and bracket on the internet for my truck which currently does not have these items. How tough would it be to install them in my truck? How is the plumbing ran? What else do I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBF Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 If it's the cannister type, two bolts to mount the bracket on the head, and two oil lines. Do a search on this site, there recently was a post showing the correct routing of the two oil lines. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpartington Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I got a oil filter off of a different PH I found but looking at it now, it doesn't look the same as some of the other ones that I have seen. Was there more then one model oil Filter used on these trucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) There wasn't a "standard" filter for these trucks. In fact many didn't even have a filter. Mine didn't. I found one on ebay and added it to my truck engine. The one i have is a Deluxe Filter, which uses the sock type filter element. I suppose it would match up with the Deluxe heavy duty filter option listed (Model P903) Which uses cartridge P/N 676575. That crosses to the Napa 1011 sock filter, or the Baldwin JC405 (which I like better). If you really want to be confused, try deciphering the parts pages...

jpartington Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 This is what the one that I found looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Are the ports marked "IN" and "OUT"? Are there any other markings on it to identify what it is? It doesn't look like the Deluxe Model JC filter that I have. Yours looks like it may take one of the paper type filter cartridges. When I got mine it had the wrong filter cartridge in it, and it was full of sludge. Note the markings on the cover that state the type of cartridge. "Use JC Cartridge", which also crosses to the Napa 1011 or Baldwin JC405 Edited March 14, 2017 by Merle Coggins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpartington Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Picture of the filter after I cleaned it up. It does have the words inlet and outlet clearly stamped on it but I was unable to locate any other markings would it be "incorrect" to install this one?

On my truck the oil pressure gauge feed comes from the #2 bearing oil passage. It doesn't seem like there is enough clearance at #4 behind the starter.

Merle Coggins Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Nothing wrong with the one you have. Mount it up, plumb it up, and use it. It's likely an aftermarket filter from back in the day. Fram, Purolator, etc... As long as you can find a replacement cartridge for it.

That looks like the same one I have on my 48 plymouth. Uses a readily available napa filter I believe a 1010. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozerman51 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 That filter canister set up you have will work fine for your truck or car applications. I have a Purolator "Military Standard Jr." set-up in my WC-12 which has an IND-7(237) motor in it. The filter canister is a tad larger than the the one you have. While the by-pass system of filtration is functional, the full -flow system of filtration is much better. Problem is, the full flow system was only used on Chrysler and Desoto 25" motors. I have never seen a 23" Mopar flathead with a factory installed full flow system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a 23" Mopar flathead with a factory installed full flow system. The only thing better about a full flow system is that it filters all of the oil coming out of the pump. But a bypass system is better at filtering the oil, i.e. the media in a bypass system captures much smaller particles, than a full flow system. A dual full and bypass system is the best option, but with a quality filter, high quality oil, and proper oil change intervals, a bypass system works just fine. http://www.baldwinfilter.com/literature/english/ProductHighlights/102011HighlightsFAQs.pdf Edited March 18, 2017 by Elwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
