Oil change and other changes

[Silverback51]

Have you looked at the Canton site to see what the oil capacity is of that pan?

I just did a quick search of their site and the largest capacity they had for a FE engine was 8 quarts.

He probably has the Canton 15-820. Gunner, just drain your oil, put seven quarts in, mark your stick, put another quart in, mark your stick again, and those are your "FULL" and "ADD" marks. On your oil pressure, I remember the clearances on your FE's build and they were pretty healthy. A hot idle pressure in the upper teens for your FE is perfectly acceptable provided your pressure rises quickly with the RPMs. Non-FE guys don't believe this (and Rick Lake always argues against it as well), but it's absolutely, you-can-take-it-to-the-bank, true. I won't even tell you what the minimum PSI at idle for an FE was in the Ford Shop Manual because you wouldn't believe me.
