Was trying to do oil pump and can't get the oil filter housing off. The filter mounts sideways instead of down like some other ones I've looked at and un did all the bolts I could see there was two on the bottom and that was it no bolts insid.e the filter. I'm almost there and just called it quits yesterday tried looking it up but there was nothing its a 350 by the way
