Fuel Pump/Spin on Oil Filter Install

Time in Garage: 3 hours

I cleaned mating surfaces for the fuel pump and oil filter.

I had previously purchased a spin on filter conversions from Moss Motors. I had to clean out the old dried up rubber gasket from the existing filter housing before installing the aluminum housing from the kit-  a task that took much longer than expected. The new assembly (with the bright orange Fram filter) looks great against the newly painted engine block. Unfortunately I was unable to do the final install because the oil gauge line is in storage and not easily assessible. The line is needed because it acts as a spacer on one of the studs.

 I  was unable to do the final install on the fuel pump because I couldn't locate my previously purchased gasket...
