Ok I need help here !!!! I need to know what color the intake manifold should be for the 235 ?? same as engine? ,cast iron grey? , or black? also need the same info for the bell housing, fan, pulleys, and oil filter.....or anything else I might have forgot about...... Thanks, Leon
Leon, when they left the factory, the exhaust manifold was painted the same color as the engine. They would paint the entire engine as a unit. As far as I know, the starter, generator, pulley, coil, and air cleaner were black. The oil filter could be any color or color combination depending on what brand of oil filter you put on the truck. AC had 2 color schemes, yellow base with black top or blue with orange top. Fram had orange base with black top. It's all a matter of personal taste, and as we've said before, "you're paying the bills, do it the way YOU want to!" Hope that helps. Here's a pic of one the the oil filter options that you have available.
oil filter ken how long are those hoses and what size fittings are at the ends.I have the same filter and used hose clamps and rubber hose for now, but i am going to have a place make 2 new ones .I dont want to take the hoses off to check fittings thanks for your help.
Ron, we've got a saying here in the south called "Deer in the headlights". Not knowing where you're from, this might need additional explanation. When your headlights hit a deer, it freezes in place, not knowing what to do! When I read your question today, I got the "deer in the headlights" look on my face. There are a gazillion combinations of motors and oil filters out there and there is no defined length of oil filter line associated with each application. I slapped that oil filter on my truck back in Oct of last year and never even thought about how long the inlet or outlet lines were. The truck is not geophaphically convenient to me right now, or I'd go measure them for you. IIRC, they weren't very long. For some reason I think one was 13" and the other was 15". Maybe someone else will chime in.
sorry ken i asummed by the pic that it was not installed yet, mine is in also.I have that exact filter i can just measure my hoses i was hoping that i could find out the fitting sizes without removing mine.
Ron, look at this link. It has some good info on oil canister installation. Hope it helps. http://chevy.tocmp.com/miscellaneous/oilcanister.htm
