Imperialists,
In
changing the oil on my '56 Imperial 354, I noticed there is a spring in the top
of the 4" canister which forces the filter back against the oil feed at the
block and allows for better filtration. It is four inches long due to
space limitations within the engine compartment. In my '55 331 however,
the canister is 6" long due to additional room, and I have found that it does
NOT contain the same spring apparatus. Am I to assume this piece is
missing as the filter is not pressed firmly against the block and possibly just
'floating' within the canister? And if so, is it a part I will
track down new, or will I be contacting Bob H. or Lowell, etc. for a used
one?
Thanks as Always,
