Need advice & counsel on '30 Packard 745

[Water Jacket]

My old friend finally retrieved the '30 Packard Model 745 roadster he owned 40 years ago. Tho' re-restored in the interim, it sat unused for a few years in a private collection. My hands on Packard experience is with
late '30s, '40s. We're in the San Fran/Oakland East Bay area. Anyone know a good source for points/distributor cap, ignition parts? And, as
i haven't seen the car since its return "home" last Friday, is the canister at the left side of the engine an oil rectifier or ? How is it serviced?

Enquiring minds want to know. Many thanks!

Oil Filter
Like this. Packard Purolator EF 2 1930 factory oil filter
The original oil filter was a Purolator EF-2, a disposable canister type of bypass filter. There is a modern unit that externally matches the EF-2 but accepts a modern, spin-on filter inside. The vendor has advertised in the Packard club magazine, and I've seen him set up in the Orange Field (?) at Hershey. Contact information is Mr. Burr Ripley, 136 W. Dryden Road, Freeville, New York 13068 (607) 844 8473.

Snopak --- Thanks for the above tip. I know John, but haven't seen him in ages, forgot albout him--- and he owns a nice '32 Light Eight roadster, knows the older cars, too.
BTW, i have your bound collection of "Packard Tips," a wonderful source which i recommend to all Packardites.
