Re: late 20's oil filter fitting

Hi,
I have an original owners manual published in August of 1928 for the sixth series cars, that for some reason actually shows a picture of this odd little contraption. I also have an owners manual for later in 1928 (again for the sixth series cars) which does not show it, on the same page!. I also have an original copy of the parts book. Packard continuously released updated pages for the parts book, so the pages in my copy range from 1929 to 1930, but it still has parts for the sixth series cars. Page 176 of the book shows the filter that Classic and Exotic is now making for the 1930 cars (7th series). Oddly enough, right next to that filter is a picture of the gasket for my crumbling valve (I included a picture because you just cant make this stuff up!). I am beginning to figure out that Packard made a change from the nuisance valve to the integrated unit some time between 1928 and 1930. Interestingly, the page in the book that references the oil filter for the 645 (updated to December, 1930) references the part in the picture, so unless I can find the "nuisance valve" that was clearly factory equipment in August, 1928, I will probably be investing in the updated canister which was in use in December, 1930. Wow, what a journey!
