Austin group, I'm a newbie with a 1957 Nash Metropolitan - these American market cars were all british built and have Austin drive trains. So its this weird marriage of American skin over a british car. I've had my car about 18 mos, not exactly a basket case but lots of issues to get it road worthy.
Ok mine is a Austin 1500 inline 4 cyl. And it has a block plate mounted where the spin-on oil filter should go. I have no reason to think this isn't original to the car! I have at least 3 questions: 1) is this block plate common? 2) do any of you run with these? 3) can you tell me what modern filter will fit? I.e. a Fram part number
Thank you in advance, Texas Jim
