Ok, finally an update. Really wanted to use the air tank, but then the comment about the oil filter had me worried. Wasn’t sure exactly what Bored&Stroked meant. So, came across a vid on BarryTsGarage on YT, where Ed Smith talked about not using the Ford filter. Said it was not a “pressurized” type filter and was only a flow type filter. He talked about the special “fitting” which I’m guessing is the “restrictor” and how there was there was no pressure inside the filter, and the oil would just drain back into the pan. I had no idea, just being familiar with “modern” type oil filters, I just assumed it was the same.
Also, checked the oil passages to make sure there was no internal plug inside the passage, and confirmed there was no plug.
So, cut the hose on the Home Depot sprayer, and just pushed on a fitting with a hose barb on one end and a 1/4 NPT on the other end. Added about one of the Lucas Hot Rod oil, and started pumping. Was going down slowly, so, cracked the flare nut at the oil pressure gauge, until I saw oil dripping out. Tightened up the fitting, and by the time I went back to the sprayer, it had sucked up all the oil, so not sure now if it pushed some air into the system. Also hand cranked the engine over a couple tim while adding the oil.
