Check carb to make sure it does not dump gas into the oil supply, and that the fuel pump is in good order as well. If you do, you may burn out the cap, rotor, and coil! Make sure engine is full of coolant. DO NOT use modern carbon core radio suppression wire. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - use wire core ignition wires only (like Packard 440). Make sure high tension wire is soft and supple, not cracked. Check points, cap and rotor for any faults. Clean off any visible gunk before re-installing the pan. You have the right idea - pull the pan, clean out the pan and oil pick up screen. This means that oil goes thru the oil pump and engine first! Any debris in the oil goes to the engine! The filter only gets the excess pressure that is not used by the engine, and the filtered oil goes back to the pan, not to the bearings (BOO-HISS). If the engine even has an oil filter, it will be the return type, not positive pressure. Some tips: SAE 30 NON Detergent oil at first, with a high pressure anti wear additive.
