Hi All,

I have been working on a 28 sedan was produced some time in the mid range because it has the early motor mount straight to the frame, the 28 valve cover and a little of this and that early. Braking system is the later style. Anyways it has a early oil pan with the clean out i took the pan off checking the rods and was comparing it to a later style and i notice the oil pan baffle on the early pan has like 5 holes around where the journals pick the oil up. the later style has 1 hole and the oil would have to get higher before it went back down into the pan for the oil pump to pick it back up. does anyone know if the early oil pan baffle had more holes? and my second question would it be better to put an later style baffle back in the early pan so it collects more oil?
