CMP Ford Flathead/Sidevalve V8 oil filters

[Jacques Reed]

Further to previous post, I found a couple of interesting photos on line today on Hot Rod Network. Scroll down on the link below.

Of interest is the manufacturer, Kralinator Ltd, and the Canadian origin. The canister also is a different size to the one fitted to my engine, more like the larger diameter ones on 8BA engines.

The decal is similar, however, with the gold coloured background and the lettering style seems the same but it still has a few differences to the remnant on my oil conditioner canister. Anyway it is the first time I have seen a Canadian decal instead of an American one so I am getting closer!

I had another close up look at my photos and the last two letters on the line that starts with "PRES---" are "---IO". Perhaps " Prestolite Ontario?"

Hope this is of some interest.

Cheers,
