Re: 31- Purolater EF-2 Oil Filter; Decal Placement?

'31 Roadster,

I've attached a few pictures showing where most restorers have placed these.

I haven't run across any factory pictures with enough detail to see if these decals were installed at the factory, or at the dealership.

One of the pictures shows an "original" engine. If you look closely you can see an oval decal that may be the Purolator one.

I've had good luck with filters supplied by Burr Ripley. Good quality and hard to tell the difference from an original. His filter takes a modern spin on filter inside.

One note on the oil filter, make sure you have the restriction fitting in the filter line. This fitting is a double male fitting with a small orifice, around .050 to .060 dia.

Since the filter in this series is bypass not full flow leaving this restriction fitting our will reduce the flow and pressure of the oil going to the engine bearings.

Great looking engine!

Regards,

Dave
