Cokekid Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 With the engine in. I just started to install the intake manifold when I looked at the oil Gauge and was wondering if it was installed the right way. I had installed a MELLING 19 Pump and had made all the necessary changes to the pan. I can lift it up and down and it stops as shown in the photo.

larry butcher Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Gerry, Just changed the oil and filter of my '48 LC Coupe. I added 4 qts. of oil and started up to let it warm up again. I got it good and warm before draining old oil. Topped off oil after shutting down. The new filter will take almost a qt. Is your float in good shape and does not leak? Does your pan have a correct "cage" for the float to travel in? Last, was the float rod ever altered? That is , correct length?--- Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cokekid Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Larry, Before installing the engine I double checked that the oil float went into it's slot. I am now going to connect the filter and add oil. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38ShortopConv. Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Gerry, how much oil did you put in pan, is red button floating ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cokekid Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 38ShortopConvI I have raised the float up and down many times and I could hear it hit the bottom of the pan. but did it go in it's proper slot. That I don't know and by looking at the height it sits without oil in the pan I thought I would post the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
