Leaking oil cooler
I am down to my last few leaks. I got fed up with the crappy (scew on in place of the oil filter) housing leaking. I just put a shorty spin on filter in place of it and found a washer and nut on the discharge pipe coming out of the block (351c). I haven't banged on Fords much and am still learning. What in the heck is that nut and washer for? I removed it prior to spinning on the filter but now, thought I'd better ask before starting the engine... Thx.

It might help to know what size the nut and washer are. I found a little 1/4" nut rattling around in my drivers side muffler. I have no idea what it's from. Good luck with yours.

No, not like that but close.
Not sure what I have run across now. The nut was the same size as the pipe and the washer under it. Since the nut was loose I suspect it was causing my cooler adaptor to not seat all the way..... I went to two speed shops and talked to three Ford Pros and they had never seen such a set up. I have since removed the nut and washer and installed a short filter. Seems to be just fine..... Thanks everyone....
