Spin on oil filter for Y-block
Were any Y-blocks factory built for “spin on” oil filters?
Thanks, Steve |

Re: Spin on oil filter for Y-block
They came factory assembly with the adapter and spin-on filter. The adapter was installed 1957/ or offered as an over-the counter kit.
EDIT - Should read factory assembly came with assembly parts to use SPIN-ON filter. The assembly parts were then released in kit form (although the individual service parts could be bought separately) for prior 1957 assembly retro-fit.

But I can tell you this; I must have a really old one, because it is stamped of at least 16 gage or heavier metal. You'd need to swing a hammer pretty hard to make a dent in this one. The newer conversion plates are thin and you gotta be real careful installing them. |

Re: Spin on oil filter for Y-block
Starting in 1957, as the others said, spin on filters were original equipment. On cars and Tbirds, trucks???

Not TRUCK until 1963. They could be retro-fitted with the adapter kit.

The kit was orginally a Ford tractor part.

Re: Spin on oil filter for Y-block
Please explain.
The kit also fitted some tractor engines.

Re: Spin on oil filter for Y-block
I'm thinking '54-'55. I rember buying them in the early '60's for a '56 Ford I had.
