FC Oil filter.

[Lincoln Lee]

Hi,
Wanted to know if any one has any info on the after market oil filters.I have got one which I fitted to my motor but when I went to fit the motor into the body it hit against the steering box.I presume this filter is for a earlier model.Can any one show me some photo,s or let me know if there was several diferent filter housings.Thanks,Regards Lincoln.

Lincoln Lee, the correct FC oil filter screws to the side plate screws.  2 at the top and 1 at the bottom.  It goes towards the front of the engine, clear of the steering box.
What state r u in.  I'm sure meeting up with some of the guys in a local FE/FC club would be beneficial.

It sounds like you've got it mounted aft of the coil.  It should be mounted between the coil and the petrol pump:

Hope that helps,

Thanks guys I live in Newman W.A. and there is no other FC,s in town.The filter was screwed to the side cover where it freely fitted the next set of holes forward it hits on the breather pipe,any further sugestions.
Regards.Lincoln.

Hey! Nice engine bay on that car.
Where do you get those decals on the engine/airfilter.

"That car" won Grand Champion at the last FE-FC Holden Nationals, owned by the Guru, Ken.

Those decals can be purchased from the FE-FC Holden Car Club of Victoria.  Contact Ken for a price list.

Lincoln, sounds like you have a problem with the breather pipe. As you can see - the filter goes just behind the fuel pump, the breather pipe is just behind the filter.
The breather pipe bottom screw is attached to the sump slightly rearward of the outlet so that the breather pipe angles bak slightly.

By the way - the Vic FE/FC club has a range of over 30 engine bay decals to suit FX to HQ.
The FC aircleaner is $6, the oil cap is $5, the Bosch coil is $5
We also have gear lever lock decals which go on the quarter vent window, "NASCO" stickers in the diamond pattern in 3 different sizes, power brake stickers for the back window etc etc etc.
Contact me for a price list and I will email it to you or I will see if I can get RET to post the list on the VIC FE/FC site.
