Hi Crin,

That is very nice machining with what looks like top-quality components. As I am not that familiar with Packard's original oil filters, and my car ('39 Six) did not have a factory filter, I'm curious how this unit attaches, both how it is held in place and the actual oil lines. My 245 CID six has 1/8" NPT ports in the block and a previous owner has plumbed lines from those to a modern-day bracket that uses a spin-on filter. This is just screwed to the fenderwell and doesn't look that nice, or correct. I believe it is attached there with standard flare fittings - what does your unit use?? And is there any kind of attachment clamp available to mount the canister if one does not have the original Packard filter to start with??
Thanks, Chris.
