      I have a ford inline 6 170 in a 61 ranchero. Im woundering why its needed to have this additional oil sender that screws on top of the valve cover. ive seen most inline 6 setups that dont have it. is it needed? thanks

        I have never seen the oil sender on the valve cover. It may be
        the PCV system.

              I used to own a Maverick with the 170. Memory is hazy but I’m thinking the rockers oiled through a passageway at one end of the head. Anyway, back then, before emission controls, they didn’t put anything on an engine that wasn’t needed. So, I’d guess that this is to oil the rockers.
