Oil filter help
My 69 396 that I recently got and just rebuilt the engine on has a strange oil filter adapter. Also the by pass valve had come apart.

Re: Oil filter help
yep the small block unit is the same..as long as the 396 block has the sealing surface for the filter..

Re: Oil filter help
FYI... My 69 350 3/4 CST/20 came new with a cartridge type filter. I replaced it in the 70s with an aftermarket adapter and spin-on filter. The filter required with the adapter was actually a Ford part number. Perhaps the 69 396s were in the same boat and someone changed yours out. I THINK the 70s or 71s started using spin-on filters.

How about a picture of the mounting area without the adaptor installed on the 69 396 and tell us which adaptor came off that? |

Re: Oil filter help
My '69 has the canister or cartridge type filter. I jacked around with the aftermarket spin on adapter for about 1/2 a day putting it on and taking it off 4 or 5 times. Never could get the POS to seal up.
Went back to parts store and got replacement filter and put the OEM back on. I wish you better luck with yours!

Re: Oil filter help
Same style came on my W engine. thinking about keeping it, not that far yet. I suppose if it doesn't leak, I'll keep it..
