Re: '54 oil filtration question...

Thanks, again...I've had the car for 20 years now, and I haven't seen a hole. I will look more closely and report back.

Of course, the other question is why they'd make just one very small hole to pass the oil thru, rather than have it perforated to allow more oil to pass thru more of the filter area..it makes sense to move as much oil as quickly as possible thru as much filter medium to increase filtration and maximize flow...maybe it was the same guy who buried that itty bitty Ultramatic disptick way up there where the sun don't shine?
