Re: 63(may be '62) Build
So I figured it was time for a quick oil change... Wait, did I say quick? Researched the filter, and decided the wix 51123 was the ticket. (plenty of good input elsewhere in this forum). I should have been wary when I discovered rtv on the canister, but the real tipoff was the home made (milk jug) gasket. So the gasket from the 51123 was too small, and apparently the last owner used a Chevy filter... Too short! (not much filtering going on) And it didn't leak!
Solution was to rummage through old transmission kits and find the correct size square cut seal. (FYI Ford c4 and Chrysler 904 both had one) so much for quick oil changes.
