I need someone who knows this Flathead really well.
My question is when you remove the fuel pump stand from the intake you find
A gasket and a push rod. Remove the gasket and Around the push rod is a metal sleeve that has sort of a cut out notch like its cut I half. Does the cut out notch face rear or front of the engine When being replaced back in and does it matter.

Actually, there are several 'cut out notches' in that tube. they are baffles. Fit the tube in any orientation; it doesn't matter.

Ford used the oil baffle tube from 35 till 48. I have never seen a document to insert the tube in any specific direction, for these years, nor is it marked such.

Thanks fellas for your quick response.
I just didn’t want to mess things up with the installation

Thanks again, Blast.
