The second car I owned was a '67 Chevelle with a 283, it had a canister type. The very first time that I changed the oil, the rubber seal slipped down before I got the canister tightened up to it. You should have seen the mess.
It's been about 30 years since that happened, but if I remember correctly, after that incident I think I would put 3 dabs of grease on the seal to hold it in place.
No better way to learn than the hard way, right John? I bet you never do that again.
