Keep up the good work Jason. Forgive me for asking - the screen is part of the oil filtration system? I am not familiar with this, but enjoy the chance to learn!

Thanks! On these engines they do not have an oil filter as we think of it today but instead had a kind of filtration / sediment capture system that kept the debris and particles from circulating within the engine.

Here s an ad for it from back then.

Well if you didn't know this finding parts for a 41 Pontiac is more than a little tough. However when you have a partner like my dad amazing things can happen. Here are exhaust hangars from scratch and their install.
