Re: 1949 327 oil filter

My '54 327 has an oil filter on it. But the canister unit itself was from a previous model (early 40s). So not sure if a dealer installed it, or it was installed by an owner at a later date.

Whoever did it, then did not plumb it as a by-pass. So I had to replumb it correctly. The factory return plug was still in place, which leads me to believe it left the factory without a filter kit. Oil Filters were always listed as an option from what I understand.
