Steel body fuel pump has a right bolt connecting it to the pump stand. It has a hole thru it and a rubber hose fitting coming from oil filter canister. The previous owner had welded this fitting onto this bolt, it is unable to have any pressure to hold the fuel pump to the stand anymore. I am asking for the correct name of such a bolt, a photo of what is supposed to be there and any info that can help in locating one.

Do you have the Fram style oil filter or the AC ?? for the AC see the 38-39 Ford restoration book. The Fram did get connected to the fuel pump bolt but that soon changed and the line re-routed to a hollow bolt at the distributor.

I do not have a 38-39 book. Just the 40 book. I will add a photo of mine tonight.

Here are the Fram instructions for converting the oil filter return from the fuel pump stand to the distributor bolt. The P/N for the bolt at the fuel pump stand is 01A-18661-A and the one at the distributor is 01A-18661-B. The second P/N is available at Dennis Carpenter according to Rearcounter.com. Tom

On the photo that TomO posted see the note A. If your looking for the hollow bolt that attached the hose to the front of the engine try Third Gen Automotive SIX15-239-99EIGHT5 he had some and may still have some more.

What was the reason for changing the re-entry point of oil? Is this a mandatory correction that my motor just did not get the recall notice? This message was edited by 40headaches on 11-4-15 @ 4:43 AM

The change was made to prevent oil from blowing out of the vent. There were no recalls on cars in the 40's and 50's. Problems were fixed if the owner complained to the dealer and the dealer liked the customer. Tom

Now you will get oil blowing into the dist. Neither was a good place for returning oil to the base. That's why later ones had a double opening on the dip-stick tube directly dumped oil to the pan. The pan has to come off to install one. ken ct. Your better off eliminating the filter and change oil like every 1000 mi. Been there done that. ken

Recall was my little pun. So if its all the same to you guys, if its no better in front than where its now, and if wasn't moved for better lubrication then I might just get a custom bolt made and keep it where it is. Thank you.

You can make them your self with a bench top drill press. Get a cheap hardware store bolt of correct size and thread (their course thread) Drill down thru the length of the bolt with a small drill like 1/16" down to about 1/16"shy of the bottom of the head to allow space for the copper washer then drill a likewise size hole cross ways all the way thru to the other side of bolt , it must intersect with the other hole you drilled and a copper washer is used to sandwich the banjo fitting between the washers.Hense your feed back thru the hollow bolt.Most if not all commertial bolts are fine thread so their N/G to you. Have a small supply of bolts and drill bits handy as they tend to break drill bits doing this. Don't ask how I know. lol ken ct. You will still have leakage at either place you install this system. ken ct.
