Re: [Amc-list] Oil Filter for 1960 Classic 196ci

No, the top cover is different and won't clear between the oil pump and right chassis rail on the 50-55 Nash Rambler or 58-63 American. The old pump cover is relatively flat and there's only about 1/2" of space between the chassis and pump, IIRC.

" 3. There is a full flow filter system available that will fit the big

" not sure what oil filter it takes, but believe it's the same as the 65
" 232, not the older 196 filter. 

would this pump with a remote filter setup fit the early-style
americans?
