The original 265-CID in 1955 did not have a provision for an oil filter. All engines produced since 1956 have a provision for an oil filter. From 1956 through 1967 all small-block Chevrolets used a cannister-style oil filter which used a cartridge filter and the filter adapter is shown in Fig. 58.2. The only problem with this system is the gasket must be properly installed to prevent a bad leak. From 1968 on all small-block Chevrolets used a spin on filter and its adapter is shown in Fig. 58.3
