    Hello,
    I have a 1959 235(I6) and am replacing the stock filter with a beehive style filter. Where does the inlet and outlet of the filter get plumbed to on the engine block?
    The inlet/outlet ports on the old filter weren’t labeled so I’m not sure which went where, the new filter says the inlet is the bottom port of the beehive and the outlet is the top port.
    Thanks in advance!

    I think there is a 235 site here on the HAMB to look through which should give you an answer.

    I'd assume it's the same place the stock filter came from. They are both bypass types.

    Pressure side is low on the left rear side of the block. The return is just about in the center of the left side, high below the exhaust manifold.

    Thanks! Is the pressure side considered the input?

    Isn't the later 235 set up like the 261 with 1/2 inch ports and the pin that you push in to go from bypass to full pressure.

    The latest I have worked with was a 62 model, and it still had the bypass filter.
