    I’m having one of those days in the shop. Everything I touch turns to sh!t. But rather than going in the house, getting a cup of coffee and watching TV, I’m trying to clean up my workbench. Just a little, somewhat, you know, put some stuff back where it goes.
    So I ran across this oil filter “thing”. A bracket, an adapter, a base, I don’t know what you call it and I tried them all looking for it on the internet. It does have an AC part number: AC 5575950.
    Apparently it’s not a Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac or Olds Rocket. It looks like it’s from the ‘60s.
    Ok, now I AM going in the house… it just took me four tries to get the pictures properly loaded. Arghhhh

    Thanks Jim. I looked at my Buick, but from the angle I was looking, it didn’t look anything like that fitting. Well thanks again, I guess it’s going in the Buick parts box.

    It will bolt on the early engines and allow you to use a spin on filter.

    Yeah, gotta love this place.
    I do have a ‘56 322, maybe I got it for that engine and just lost track of it til now. It happens….even more now that I’m old.
