Calling Phil Waterman....

[Bob Carriere]

Good picture Phil..... it clearly shows the difference of the 235.... the outlet is the top rhd one from the oil galley and the return is open to drip in the pan.......

... the 261 has the outlet from the pump is the lower lhd hole goes to the full flow filter and his piped in back to the top rhd hole which is the main oil galley....... opening the pan on Grant's 261 should show clearly how the oil is pumped to the filter assembly...... meanwhile we may just fit a small bypass oil line with clear vinyl hose and prime the sucker with a drill to see if we can get oil on all the bearings and top end.

when you reach that point, let us know how the 261 water pump will fit and whether an Hay-dapp-ter plate will be mandatory .....

HOw short can a connecting drive shaft me made an still retain the sliding joints/spline.....???
