Ok, I'm getting closer to getting my car on the road. After taking the advice of those here whenever I originally posted my Horsepower question I am now wondering about the oiling system. Here are the new particulars:..
66 Fairlane GT ( Toploader )
3:50 Detroit Locker
410 setup ... 390 ( + .030 ), 428 crank
Icon 410 pistons
428 CJ factory heads with new undercut valves ( original factory sizes ) no extra porting
FPA custom built ceramic coated headers with 2 1/2 inch exhaust
Howards Rattler Cam
Intake .548 281 duration, Exhaust .548 289 duration
Lobe Separation 109, Intake C/ L 103
Duration at .050 ... Intake 227, Exhaust 235
Edelbrock Performer RPM with Holly 750
Pertronix Ignitor II centrifugal advance
Considering my anticipated usage ( cruise ins, car shows, with occasionally throwing my foot into it and maybe once or twice a year making a couple of passes at the strip ) I am wondering about the adaptor that the oil filter screws into. My current part number indicates an original older piece ( C0AE 6884 A ) and it looks like I have a stock oil pan. Is it worth my while to upgrade to the later version 428 CJ adaptor piece which is supposed to have bigger holes and should I upgrade the pan considering my anticipated usage ? Any thoughts will be welcome. Thanks. Bob
