How does this come out?


Recommended Posts

This is what it looks like on the inside of my 1925 Buick.  The tube comes from the oil pump (not shown).  So you have a brass tube with sleeve tube nuts on each end.  One end attaches to the underside of that oil pressure Y fitting.    Hugh

I agree with Jim.  No loss to drop the pan as you will likely find that the pan needs cleaning out anyway.  Lots of us find the screen pick up has a hole in it.  The tubing in particular is very susceptible to cracking.  It is not like today's copper.  If you do need some 5/16 tubing, let me know as I should have some left over after replacing my fuel line.  I found some good quality tubing, but had to buy it in a 25' roll.  You will need a line wrench for the fitting inside the block.  Since that unscrewed outside the block, then the only way to tighten it is to drop the pan.   It would be nice if there were a way to pressure check it.     Hugh
