No it is a chunk of aluminum that has been machined to except the external screw on type of filters found on most vehicals. Ithas a restrictor port in the filter. I can vet them at most auto parts stores. It has 3 hols to mount it on the firewall or else where. On the side at the top there is an inlet and outlet. Looks like 1/4 inch fittings.
On my 235 motor I see the port that has a t on it 1 runs to oil pressure gauge the other has a copper line runs up over motor and connects into the head just below valve cover. There is also a 1/4 inch plug about 10 infusion or so ahead of the line/ hole that goes to gauge.
