pezsox 31 #1 Posted December 16, 2013 So I am putting my engine back together after painting and I have an odd question. I taped and cleaned the smooth metal areas where the carb and points are and I also taped off the area hi-lited in green. do that hole have anything that bolts there or is supposed to be located there. I have 20 pictures before I started and nothing from that angle. Just curious what goes there or if anything bolts there? I am sure everyone is getting a kick out of these ridiculous posts, but trust me I would have given up on this project long ago, had you all not been there. at least I always include detailed pics!!! if only I took detailed pics to begin with haha 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,196 #2 Posted December 16, 2013 On mine...the oil bath support bracket bolts up to the block there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,833 #3 Posted December 16, 2013 I was going to say the A/C compressor bolts on there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
specialwheelhorse 174 #4 Posted December 16, 2013 Yep some have a little angled piece runs from there to choke or air cleaner area for support. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pezsox 31 #5 Posted December 16, 2013 well now you have all done it! haha This engine was never messed with and it has the oil bath hanging down, like I have seen some others on here. My bracket that was on there that supports the oil bath, bolts to one of the block bolts that secure the oil pan. Is there one way or the other that the oil works better?

AMC RULES 37,196 #6 Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Here's a link for reference... Which is your oil bath, the up or down draft version? Post a pict of the top and bottom of it here. Edited December 16, 2013 by AMC RULES Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,107 #7 Posted December 17, 2013 The updraft filter like you have, which is the correct version, should have the bracket which connects down at the oil pan hole. Craig's pic is the down draft version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pezsox 31 #8 Posted December 17, 2013 so updraft means it is hanging down, and downdraft means it is up. Man it is like fiction/non fiction. lol is there one that is preferable? I just want to make sure if my oil filter bracket does not go in that hole, I guess I just plug it with a bolt? I apologize it will not let me rotate my pics, no clue why? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pezsox 31 #9 Posted December 17, 2013 also somewhat related... when you put the arm that is attached to the throttle cable on the governor should it be facing towards the carb or facing the other way towards the pulley? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,196 #10 Posted December 17, 2013 Is that the correct elbow/air inlet for an updraft air cleaner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pezsox 31 #11 Posted December 17, 2013 now you have me worried. haha. here is every angle I can think of. If everything does look correct, does there need to be a gasket/grommet where the wing nut rod comes up thru the bottom hole? or where it goes thru the top?

rj35hunter 288 #12 Posted December 29, 2013 I looked at all my RJ's and Suburbans and that hole is not used...... Clay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckrancher 2,694 #13 Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Is that the correct elbow/air inlet for an updraft air cleaner? YES The bell is longer on the updraft manifold so it misses the carb bowl Brian Edited December 29, 2013 by buckrancher 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
