Lewis, go to your local NAPA parts store and ask for a NAPA 1100 element or a WIX 51100 element. Should fit perfectly.
Ken is right. The NAPA part number is 1100 and the cost is $12.39. This is the one that fits my canister. Take the top off yours and measure the inside diameter to be sure. Greg
Cannister oil filter hookup? Hey Greg Just went through the same prosedure and used the old car manual pics.It ends up very well.But beware of one litle detail that is the tiny hole in the sentertube inside the cannister, it has to be open for oil bypass.At the same time the rubber ring inside the cover has to be smooth and in good shape.If you put it in some fresh oil or silicone liquid that will do the job. Good luck Martinius.
So I’m bringing this thread from the dead… Just a 1951 3100 and starting to do work on it as seller had it sitting in the garage for the last 20 years. I was going to start with fluid flushes and rubber hose changes. When looking for oil filter, I did not find one and the ports that would go to the oil canister have brass stoppers. I read here that some go without a filter, but would you need to have a hose still interconnected between the ports?
NO ! . It's a bypass oil filter so if not connected leave the brass plugs in place . THANK YOU for including a partial picture of the World Famous Chevy I6 engine, near and dear to my heart since he early 1960's .
