1955 Buick 264 Oil filter by-pass spring

[RUDDY]

Hi,

I need the parameters for the oil filter spring on the oil valve bypass on the 1955 Buick 264 engine, as it does not appear to be original at this time.
I would be interested in the exact length and material thickness ( diameter of the coil material ) of the spring shown in the picture. I hope you can help me. Thanks

Not sure if this will help. I did this video on the filter housing.

Thanks Mudbone a fast reply. I watched the video, that's exactly what we're doing. The problem is that the spring is not sized correctly.
That's why I asked for the exact dimensions, to get the right one. Where can I look up the correct parameters? Where can I get the original one?

P.s.   the exact diameter of the ball should also be, thanks.

This may help, Kit, oil pump pressure valve and spring # 1393633 fits 1931 thru 1956 and is shared with Chevy, not sure about what years Chevy used same part number.

 

From the oil pump kit section, spring # 1333351  also used # 1290361 earlier part # : (13/32" X 2 23/32"  - 25 1/2 coils) maybe will work?

 

valve, oil pressure  # 1247328 , BUT  part # : 1293647 ? (35/64" O.D. X 2") maybe will work?
