what is this ? can anyone help ID this old speed equip. part

I picked up this old aluminum " INNER - LINE "oil filter , the guy told me it was for a chevy six , but I don't know what the hell it is , , the close up pic shows the 3 bolt mounting and the oil feed hole , I think that that will be the best hint as to what it fits , any info would be great , and if it doesn't fit any of my motors I will probably offer it to some one who can use it .

thanks , John

 

heres the detail of the mount

 

the angle where it bolts on makes it look like it would fit a V8 , this isnot for a flathead ford is it?

 

the second picture looks like it would mount up to the spot where the oil distributor goes on a 216,it's that little sheetmetal cover on the left side of the block under the manifold,i think there's a bypass valve under there too.the angle would be to clear the manifold.might be worth something to the lowrider guys,some of them still run babbit-pounders.

 

Thats right,I had one on my '50 chevy.Its aftermarket(maybe fram)

 

Thanks George , too bad it won't go on my 235 , figures a local boy would know that one , thanks for reading the post.

 

What's it hold, a roll of toilet paper? They did that, ya know.
