Re: Oil Filter Identification

That would be the wrong filter for a postwar model. Here is another illustration, this from the 52 fact book showing a different filter from the photo above. This filter looks to be without the drain plug. It also shows the 51 and later plumbing change where they added a return port so filtered oil drops directly into the crankcase rather than supplying the lifter gallery port. Since the 51 and 52 models were virtually identical this illustration would probably be relevant to your car.
