Thanks! On these engines they do not have an oil filter as we think of it today but instead had a kind of filtration / sediment capture system that kept the debris and particles from circulating within the engine. Here s an ad for it from back then.

Well, another step closer thanks to my dad who is amazing. He finished the filter screen repair on the engine and now it is going back together. We used stainless in the same mesh and style to facilitate the replacement. Body is off to the next bodyman after the first came down with an illness and couldn't complete what I needed done. Tiny slices of the pie are getting it closer to the finish......

All, What oil is best to be used in my rebuilt 1941 Pontiac L239 engine. I am just about ready to fire it up and need some help. Reading all of the information on here about Detergent vs Non-Detergent oil is a little confusing and the fact that my engine does not use a more traditional style of filter system makes me want to get this right the first time. Any suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks Jason

All, Thanks for the sources of dash/trim restore. J

Mine is a 1941 Pontiac and it is a painted woodgrain dash. Thanks for the information so far. Jason

Hi all, Does anyone have a source for dash re-paintings on 1940's cars? More specifically I need my 1941 Pontiac dash repainted to match original. Thanks Jason

Here are a few pictures now that the body is back from sandblasting. Very solid only a few spots to repair...

Does anyone know what the mesh size is on the oil screen in the 239? I am rebuilding my engine and need to repair this filtration system or find a new/used one. Thanks Jason

Thanks!!

Thanks for all the information everyone. Here are some pictures of the engine now that it's back from rehab. Just need some time to get her together. Another step closer, and if I could catch a weather break I could get the car back from blasting....lol

Hi All, Is there anyway to find out what rear gearing is in the rear differential of a 1956 Pontiac without taking the cover off? Thanks for any help Jason

Nice work, very nice car...thanks for sharing

Well, its been awhile but life has taken an interesting turn which has allowed me to start work on completing this project. Here is a link to some pictures of the dis-assembly and before and after pictures of the seats. Body is scheduled to go off to the body shop in the next week or so to fix the rot and sandblast everything else including the frame. I would do it myself but they have a jig and can get to the bottom side to blast primer and paint way easier than I can. Hope to have it back soon so that I can get the rest of the body blocked in and painted this summer when I come home for a visit. Does anyone know what color these engines were from the factory in 1941? Thanks https://picasaweb.google.com/uscgjason/1941PontiacDisassembly?authuser=0&feat=directlink
