[Amc-list] 195.6 ohv head oiling

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Well you just never know what's been done to cars when they get this old!

I don't know why I looked, but the line from the block to the head 
(where there's a T that takes half the oil to the filter in that crazy 
old system) goes off the front end of the main gallery. No surprise there...

BUT! there's a boss with 1/8" pipe plug right above the gallery -- 
directly over the front-most camshaft bearing. There is also a cast in 
big "X" right after the block casting number and before the boss.

This engine is a swapped in rebuilder (there's a tag saying so, and it's 
painted gold). Can't read the stamps on the driver side without some 
disassembly. Who knows what year it is...

But the 1958 block I have does not have the boss or the hole or the "X".
