Guest stude8 Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Thats a tough decision, if you find a 60 year old filter do you dare put it on a good engine and have all the rotted Cotton fibers clog the rod bearings or the insect larve eggs plug the cam bearings???Just hollow out your old filter and let the judges think it is real and then hide a modern FRESH canister filter underneath somewhere. Most guys feel the partial flow filters were almost worthless and you should just change your oil more frequently than the EPA tells you to.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 John,If you want your car to look authentic when you lift up the hood for everyone to see, then you will want to find what was called a "Pancake" filter. Originally it was an enclosed throw away and is about 2 1/2 wide and about the size and shape of a pie plate. It is usually hard to find because they were throw aways. The usual type you see now, the cylindrical, which later was made from also being a throw away to a modern "canister" style which had a changeable filter. If I find someone who does have the "Pancake" style, I usually encourage them to plug the in and out lines, and change the oil more frequently. In my opinion, nothing looks more tacky when someone lifts up the hood than seeing a non-original big oil canister that has been bolted onto the side of the block where it was never intended to belong. I will try and post a picture of a pancake filter later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Huston Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Here is a picture of a "pancake filter" on a 1929 Dictator a friend is restoring. This is the same filter used on the Commander. My friend has the filter on for "show" it is not a "working" filter for all the reasons already stated in previous posts here. These filters are nearly impossible to find and when found need restored but can never really be used. Only mounted for looks. This one looks like it is working, but it is not.

Guest Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Interesting photo, originally did they really use the two head bolts to hold the horn bracket? The Presidents had accessory mtg bosses.Stude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Huston Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 The President (and I think the Commander 8) used accessory mtg bosses on the side of the block. The Dictator engine does not have that feature and uses the head bolts for the mounting of the horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 can you post more pictures of your engine? I have a 29 FD that I'm working on and would love to see some nice pictures of what everything is supposed to look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Huston Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Here is another picture of the 1929 GE Dictator engine that can be found on the features restoratin page of the antiquestudebaker.com web site. Also, there is a club member who is restoring a 1930 FD Commander coupe. You can see pictures of his restoratin on his web site:http://www.geocities.com/studerickpet/Ricks_Studebakers_page2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave woodson Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 I have been wondering about the filter on my 29 President. I went to all the trouble to hand build the dicast conector on the filter only to figure that these were dealer installed and to be thrown away and replaced with a new unit on occasion. I now know to paint the one I have and plug the conector I made. That is what makes this site so valuable.Thanks Dave Woodson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
