I'm getting ready to install my '51 Merc engine in my '51 Ford. The fitting on the canister filter was different on the Merc, so I put the Ford canister on it. Since the engine was on my test stand, I scrounged some fittings in order to hook up the mechanical oil pressure gauge. Now I want to put the stock sender back in and it seems to close to the canister to fit. I think I must have left something out that has since been misplaced. Anybody have a diagram of how this goes together? Or maybe a close-up picture of the stock setup.
