Drilling for oil
Thank you all for your posts, diagrams and photos. Couple of photos of the vertical drilling in the 59L block on the Bridgeport. #1 photo is the setup.
The 59L has a pronounced boss where the intersecting hole is drilled for the return. #2 photo. The head on the Bridgeport was tilted to drill that intersecting hole that is at an angle on the 59L. The last photo is a diagram of the drilled holes, and location of the set screw overlaid on the block photo. There was some confusion between a 59 and 8BA block as to the location of the new return hole, and jig. A jig would have come in handy drilling the horizontal hole for the 3/8 pipe thread as that was a pain with the hand drill. |

Re: Drilling for oil
Nice job. Sure is good to have a mill and a lathe. I'm jealous!
Thanks for posting the photos. Be sure to post photos of how you run the lines and mount the filter. |

Re: Drilling for oil
Looking for suggestions on where to mount the remote spin off filter on a '40 Coupe. Preferably where you can change the filter without to much of a mess. Thank you Fordbarners. That Bridgeport was found in scrap metal yard, and was bought for scrap. It worked fine initially for my stuff, but I eventually had some bearing, pulley and belt work done on it.

Re: Drilling for oil
On my '38, your '40 should be similar, I mounted it on the outside of the frame rail under the left front fender. It is convenient to change, and more importantly to me, the lines to/from the filter are below the ports on the engine so the oil in the lines doesn't drain back into the engine to have to be refilled at startup.

Re: Drilling for oil
On my 39 I have it mounted under the left front fender behind the fender brace.
