“Filtor”
10 Oct
The oil leak turned out to be a bad oil filter housing gasket. Found one that matched the InnerLine block mounted filter at NAPA, changed the oil and drove her all weekend with out issue!!
For those looking…
NAPA part numbers for the InnerLine Filtor:
Gasket: 5062 (from #1080 NAPA Gold Filter)
Filter: 1010
Also replaced the rigged up 8v battery with a new 6v, which is what it should have had originally.

Speaking of the InnerLine “Filtor”, its probably one of the more rare pieces I have on this truck. Remote by-pass oil filters were a dealer/aftermarket option so they were rare to begin with but they’re way more common than the block mounted filter I have. I haven’t mentioned it until now because it hasn’t needed any attention. Other than being full of sludge when I got the truck, it works perfectly.
I need to get some better pictures of it but you can see it to the left of where the steering box and exhaust pipe pass by each other in the following picture.
Also found decals for it on the Filling Station’s website.
