I crossed over the P122 to a NAPA (Wix) 1121, which appears to be the right oil filter for a 1963 305. O.D. of the 1121 is 3.778", I.D. is 1.095", height is 6.339". NAPA says a 1960-1962 305 V-6 should take an 1123, which has an O.D. of 3.594", I.D. is 1.281", and height is 6.37". I hear what you are saying about the O.D. of the filter element and the I.D. of the can being so close, it could cause a flow problem. Have you tried the 1123 or equivalent? Sounds like it would be a better fit.
