Does my '56 Clipper needs an oil filter?

Posted by Ken Hill On 2013/4/23 23:15:13

When I bought my '56 Clipper, about 5 years ago, it did not have an oil filter. Attached is a picture of the engine compartment. I'm the second owner of the car, and I was told the car never had one because it was considered an "extra" when the car was originally purchased. Is there any truth to that?

Aside from that question, I'd like to install an oil filter. Can someone direct me to some "step-by-step" instructions for installing an oil filter canister, hoses, etc.? I would also appreciate help with locating an oil filter canister and filter to purchase.
