When disassembling the reman block in the 68, it had this kind of filter adapter. I assumed it was original to the truck and transferred to the new block. It has a GM casting number on it. Did the 68's have the canister style or spin-on filter? Was this an adapter to convert to the spin-on style?

Why couldn't have the more modern adapter worked? Is it because it had a canister filter? I really don't understand how the canister type works compared to the spin-on type. I thought to convert to a spin-on, the later style adapter was all that was needed.

Can anyone educate me on it?
