Yes , they did use cannister filters on trucks, all the way thru 64.

Marvh, the engine was from a generator at an airbase where i used to live, it was a  reconditioned spare and came with the ford tag, FORD INDUSTRIAL ENGINE,  its a 332 lincoln, .020 rebore and ready to run, it had the large sparkplugs with screw on ends to take shielded plug wires that screwed onto the unusual distributor cap that had screw on terminals. I believe you had these in the large F series fire trucks etc.I have fitted rams horn truck headers , replacing orig manifolds.  I changed the lincoln dist gear onto later y block distributor, and with this edmunds 2 x4, rams horn headers,Cragar bellhousing and mkii lincoln valve covers, sure will be nice engine!. I like to post pics so other members can share some of these unusual engines and parts and have often suggested this. Thanks for your interest, best regards bill.

Thanks Bill:



Myself I started working on these yblocks in 1961 when going to high school then after high school worked full time for the local Lincoln, Mercury, Meteor dealership.

I was one of the very early group of Ford of Canada Registered Technicians. Have worked as HD mechanic also. Thanks for jogging the memory.

What is the truck engine out of?

Marvh,

I think us old blokes can almost remember our 1st birthday but yesterday is a lot harder!. Marvh, been involved with these engines over 40 yrs and there are many little individual differences between year models, we only had them in 55 -59  customline sedans, F series trucks to 64 and most were 272, we got the 292 in the 60 F600,s. I moved 8 years back and sold off 50 y blocks plus some FE,S and clevo,s, thinking i would be slowing down but seem more involved than ever! Our projects seem to be backing up on us somewhat. regards bill.

Bill:

You have a good memory. I had forgot that until I read your post so I dug out my old Rotunda catalog and it lists cartridge filter for 223,262 and 292 trucks 61-64 as C1TZ-6731-D or Canadian part number CC1TZ-6731-D. That is a 1961 part number. Previous cartridge were larger, part number B2A-6731-A and were replaced by this 1961 number likely to fit the smaller canister.

all the y block trucks took the same cartridge.

From my expierence all the y blocks had cannister type oil filters from original, although on the later trucks they changed them to a  smaller diameter stepped in cannister that retained the normal bolt through the center  mounting.

Our '60 F-600 had a canister type filter till I changed it.

I think the confusion as to the 312 engine installed in Canadian trucks is that the Canadian 1957 Meteor & Ford Ranchero was available with a 312 engine. Very few were produced as to numbers Ford Canada archives may have that info.



The Ranchero is called a truck and the engine bearing mfg list 1957 Ford truck Canada only

312 engine.



Here is some info on that ``truck engine``

A small possible clarification on the 312s in a truck point. I don't know what year but apparently some 312s, possibly in late production, were installed in Canadian trucks. I've seen a Clevite catalogue dated 1976 that listed bearings for 312 truck engines.
