I hope to have a couple SBF's that do soon. I really don't want to remote mount a filter, lol.

I'm not certain that this is the solution that I want.... but it will work. I'd really like to keep it in the factory location.

EDIT: Option 2....

Go find a 5.0 Explorer in the wrecking yard and pull the factory adapter off it.... and hope it's not too damn long.





EDIT 2.23145: I was thinking that my 351 had some sort of adapter on it when I bought it, but it looks like just a cooler/sandwich plate, and I'm guessing that's an FL1A too.

Cool Tool ! I suppose since mine just leaked, no 'burnout' of the compressor, mine needed a less thorough approach. It is nice though to know his wheeled AC rig also pulled a vacuum before adding new freon and oil. This approach is sure less costly. Glad to learn about new things, though unlikely I will ever have the need in my life for this one, I can pass the knowledge on and around. Thx!

In OK, dad bought his 15 cu ft w half a butchered beef already in it. Common deal back in the 60's. Kept his -20°. No burn. Mom kept a paper over the freezer, w locations of what/where so open times were low. This included a few "freezer bags," a thick string open holed "knitted" bag to help segregate different meats. Each mebe 30 gal. But you can bad huckleberries, put the bag in a coffee can, tape it shut, and the freezer will smell of lovely huckleberries in a.week.

LOL, I'm sure I zipped them out with my 1/4" impact, and that's where they landed.

Manic and I both want to allow our old FL1A motors to use the FL820S or FL500S filter's because they are a lot cheaper. PLUS, one thing other bonus is you get a silicone anti-drain back, where the FL1A is rubber.

Back when I used Fram PH8A, I would often find it easy to fenagle a way to get them to even fit tiny Ford Escort Wagons. I liked it as it was a large format filter, adding ~an extra cup of oil to the overall capacity... and extra filtration area means less flow resistance, more pressure left to deliver volume, however slight. It was so common it was cheaper, too.

Looking at relocation kits for 10th gen, 5.4's.
I did find one for a diesel that offered 4 ports for sensor placement. This might aid leaving the old switch-sensor, plus adding the new *real* sensor! It sould not be too hard to add extra ports to any of these. Adding one at the new filter location would allow an easy temporary oil pressure gauge to use to add some basic calibration marks to the stock gauge.

​​​​​​If I get this 'fingered' out, I'll try to add it to the subforum where oHIo showed me the parts to add a sensor. This spring or summer is my goal... Health etc not withstanding. I interview for a new cancer drug trial tomorrow. (Did get my pressure washer, $199, w soap etc, 329, at $27/mo over a year. I'll probably do it 3 months, knocking $50 interest down to 10-15.) If you are 55, get that prostate really checked. Drs had vague new guidelines about it in 2012. In 2018, this is the revision. And 45 if an ancestor or bro or uncle had it. My G'pa did, but it was not made obvious to me at 16. 🙄🤔😒
