B&M 20280 CAST DEEP PAN - Manual (Page 2)

'68 - later - This filter is a large flat ripple-surface filter in the center
of the case held in with a bolt (See Fig. 1). Remove the bolt and pull
the filter straight down, watching out for oil splatter. If the pickup
tube does not come out with the filter, pull it out of the case. Remove
the O-ring from the hole in the transmission case if it did not come
out with the pick-up tube and discard it.
STEP 3. Inspect your oil filter, if it has varnish on it, or the
transmission has more than 20,000 miles, we recommend to
replace the filter.
STEP 4. Install supplied (3) O-rings in supplied extension tube. Two
of the O-rings fit on the end of the tube against the shoulder and one
in the groove (See below).
STEP 5. Lubricate the O-rings with ATF and push the extension
tube onto the transmission end of your stock oil pick-up tube. Push
the extension tube onto the pick-up tube until it stops against the
shoulder on the pick-up tube.
NOTE: The B&M filter extension must be used with the standard
depth stock filter pick-up tube. Overall length including B&M
extension is approx. 6". Factory GM deep pan filter pickup tubes
measure 6" in length do not require B&M filter extension. (See
below).
STEP 6. Install oil filter into case:
'65-'67: Push oil filter/extension tube into the hole until the O-rings
on the extension tube stop against the case. The filter will hang in
mid-air.
'68-later: Push the pick-up tube extension tube into the hole until
the O-rings on the extension tube stop against the case. Install filter
onto the end of the pick-up tube. Install supplied 5/16-18 x 1 1/2"
bolt through hole in the filter. Thread 5/16 - 18 nut onto end of bolt.
Thread bolt into tapped hole in valve body until filter is lever. Hold
bolt in the position and tighten nut against valve body.
NOTE: If using the Factory GM deep pan filter pickup tube, you
must use the B&M supplied 5/16-18 bolt and nut to attach the filter.
STEP 7. Scrape old gasket off surface of case. Old gasket material
can cause leaks. Install deep pan and new gasket onto transmis-
sion. Install (11) 5/16-18 x 1" bolts and flat washers and tighten to
12-13 ft-lbs.
NOTE: (2) 5/16 - 18 x 1 1/4" bolts are to be used to fasten the cable
bracket to the deep pan. Do not use these bolts in any other
location. Do not overtighten as this can damage pan. Install drain
plug and tighten securely.
Some shifter brackets may have to be modified slightly for
clearance
