I have seen some classic show cars from the 30's with oil filters that looked like this but they had been rebuilt to use a modern cartridge. Does anyone know who does this modification or what they do exactly to do it?

Anyone know part number or how to find vintage oil filter like one in the picture?

I was able to clean out all the lines. I found that the copper tube from the glass wasn't soldered properly to the hex tube because it was too short. Probably broken off in a previous attempt to repair. I spliced in a piece of copper tube and resoldered. I checked all the lines to be open and no...

I was successful in drilling out the old cone, only to find the hex tube clogged with dried remnants of the old fluid. I was able to chip out most of it from hex tube and glass tube with wire and pipe cleaner. The very small copper tube connecting the hex tube to the glass tube is also...

Thanks for all of the advice. Lon

I have a crack in my block into the water jacket. It really isn't in a spot that I can drill/tap or weld. What is your experience with Belzona 1111 Vs 3M Panel Bond adhesive Vs Devcon F for fixing cracked blocks. Is the Belzona 1111 really worth the price?

What is your experience and or recommendations for use of subject wire for our old cars. If you think your lights may pull 20 amps, what gauge CCA would you need Vs all copper for a 10 foot run.
