When researching the type of oil bypass canister I have, I came up with an AC Delco S6 from the 50's. Hard to say which year because Fred is a '53 but the Chevy 235 is a '59.

There was a thread I found here that went into great depth about the differences throughout the years and now I can't find it. At some point the canisters were yellow with black tops or all grey or all black. Since I am a beekeeper, naturally I went with the yellow and black theme, not necessarily a honeybee's color, but close enough. Not sure if it is correct for my configuration but this project is not a true restoration anyway. If you know what color I should have painted it, I would love to know, but I think it came out great!

The Wix 51006 canister filter is a perfect fit and comes with a new rubber gasket for the underside of the lid.
