I have one on one of my T's. They work great, much better than the oiler that attaches to the magneto plug. Send a lot of oil down to the front main. John

Chaffin's Garage is the manufacturer of the "new" Ford Faithful Oiler Kit.

Thanks for the input fellas, I will check out Chaffin's about that item. I need to order Glenn's Ruckstell book as that will be my next project for the 26.

Got my oiler this week, did not have any instructions and understand were the upper and lower parts bolt to the motor.

If someone could post a picture, I would like to see how you routed your tubing from port to port, thanks.

These are really good oilers. I suggest that you use the magnet with them.

I have two. The line follows the same rout on both. On one I used the copper tubing sent with the oiler and it was exactly the correct length.


On the other (shown in the pictures), I used 1/4" pipe, tubing, and a screen filter. This is a fairly new rebuild and I want the filter to catch any fluff from the transmission bands.

You can mount the hose anyplace as long as it's downhill to the footplate from the pickup. There really is not a specific place to mount it.
