1956-1967 Oil Filter Adapter Flange Spin On Style Update
Those old filter cans were really a pain. Especially when you take the time to remove the oil filter, clean the surface of the oil filter pad, dig out that old O-Ring and carefully reposition the new O-ring on the can only to pump out five quarts of new oil on your garage floor upon start up. Time to enjoy a little new technology.
Starting in 1968, Chevrolet changed over the Corvette to the spin-on type oil filter replacing the original steel can type. The new filter sealed much better and eliminated the O-rings that were often a source of problems. A simple oil filter adapter was all that was required to make the change.
After removing the oil filter can (store it away for originality sake), use a ratchet with a proper size socket to remove the center oil filter by-pass valve. Following the instructions that came with the adapter, reinstall the bypass valve and conversion adapter for the spin-on type filter torquing it to the recommended specs. Spin on a new filter after oiling up the new rubber filter mating surface. Restart the engine and check your oil level after one minute of operation.
