Re: Lacking oil filter on 38 six engine

Hi JRPackard37,
Just wanted to chuck my two bits worth in here... when I bought my '39 Six, a previous owner had mounted a nice, neat bracket to the driver fender well and plumbed semi-rigid copper tubing from the block to a conventional oil filter.
I imagine the hard-over purists would label such a thing as blasphemy but it is done neatly and professionally and looks okay to me. The oil filter is both easy to get at, to remove, and also, easy to get. Just a thought... pic attached. (not a great one but the only one I currently have; if of any interest, I can send you close-up shots later)
