ANY spin-On OIL FILTER mods for 49-51 Ford flathead SIX?

[M6ride]

I have been thinking how EASY & QUICK it would be to be able to spin off a dirty filter and spin on a new one!!

Perhaps some one is already making them?

Otherwise, it's time to work on fabricating one, right?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

JC Whitney used to sell such an item. If there's an old auto parts store in your area, they may have one in the back room. Pretty much everything now is for C****. You might search among some of the places specializing in parts for Flatheads.

NAPA sold an adapter kit at one time. Don't know if they still do.

I contacted NAPA and they have ONE;

part # 7354351, for $12.49;

NOTE: this adapter is a "universal", and may NOT work; I am on my way over to find out now. Murphy's Law! If anything can go wrong, it will!

it uses NAPA oil filter #'s, as follows:

NAPA.............AC PF-25..........................$

O'Reilley........PH13 (FRAM).....................$

O'Reilley........Purolator TF-141................$

Still examining; got to run back to exchange filters; got wrong filter # too, initially, from the salesman.

This is NOT looking good; thinking of contacting Mr Gasket, and request that they develop an adapter specifically for the Ford flathead six!

I shall call them tomorrow & try to talk to some one in Engineering.

That will do it. Also the 1515 filter is a Wix(very good).
