Identifying an oil pan
In looking at this oil pan, It does not seem to resemble a 59AB pan, especially the location of the drain plug off center. From the inside it looks similar to 59AB. Any ideas ? Thank you. Photo;

Re: Identifying an oil pan
There were several versions of the '35 - '36 oil pan. In Feb/Mar of '36 the 1" drain plug was moved from left side to center of oil pan. So the pan shown would be an earlier version. The 59 series oil pan would have a 2" drain plug, but would still work on the earlier engines.

Yes, there is a vent in the front. I will post a photo of the inside.

The early engines returned the oil through a hollow bolt in either the front cover or fuel pump stand mount.

Re: Identifying an oil pan
The dipstick boss with oil return line provision is being reproduced and could be fitted to the '35-'36 oil pan that you have.
