Hi, Parker. Welcome to the club! What you have here is the OLD style
filter with the integral pipe, head, and canister. One of my engines has
this unit. You have to disconnect the half inch pipe (that runs from the
right rear of the engine to the filter) at the engine. It's kind of a
hassle because it's a big nut up in there between the oil pressure line
and distributor and it's hard to get a big wrench in there. Probably not
many people have seen this early unit.
