Re: Rebuilding my Flathead random questions
This is probably a dumb question but can the oil canister be located out of the way somewhere like on the firewall? Any requirements such as it needing to be up high so gravity can work to drain the oil from the bottom?
Also, are there different canisters? I have two and the paper element I bought is too big for the one I tried it in (the canister I prefer to use).

Re: Rebuilding my Flathead random questions
Yes, there are quite a few aftermarket versions of Fram filters (from back in the day) that were designed to be mounted on the firewall. You should start searching on eBay, the WEB, etc..
Given that you'll always be higher than the oil-pan oil level, the gravity feed should not be an issue. I can't help with the filter elements. |

Re: Rebuilding my Flathead random questions
The go-to oil filter relocation to the firewall option used to be the "beehive" oil filter. I searched the term and found there are still options being sold new. I have no idea what the quality of these is.
