So here's a new wrinkle!! I decided to change the oil and picked up a Wix filter from NAPA and it won't fit. The one in the canister is a Fram C-4 which matches the one I got from NAPA. The problem is that the new filter won't fit over the center post inside the oil canister!!! The Fram C-4 goes in and out fine but the new one won't. Anyone else have this issue with a 1951 F-3 with a 239 Flat 8?
