tjc, that is what I wanted to find out and that is what I thought. Thanks a lot man, now I know for SURE that it's not a splash system.
This is a very good way to I.D. all in line chevy sixs. From 1937 to 1952 the side cover on both the 235 and the 216 motors "the side cover (covered the spark plugs holes and up to the top of the head) The 235 motor from 1953 to 1962 the "side cover was one long cover and stopped before the spark plugs". In 1963 the 194, 230, 250, and the 292 came out . The 194 thru 292 have two side covers. The side covers are the same for the 194 thru the 250. The 292 is about 1 1/2" taller because of the 4.125 crankshaft. The 194 thru the 292 has a screw on oil filter. Good luck. Tjc
