It's time to change my '65 Rambler's oil and filter, but I need help to decide which oil filter is best. Currently, there's a NAPA 1049 oil filter on the engine (196 cu in OHV in-line six), but with this filter I've noticed the oil-pressure idiot light stays on for four or five seconds when the engine is started after sitting overnight.
As you can see in the photo below, the oil filter mounts onto the engine at an angle, so it's possible the oil is draining out of the filter overnight. Perhaps there's a filter with a better anti-drainback valve for this application?
Here's a summary of my research for compatible filters:
Oil Filter "Full-Flow, Spin-On type, Full-Size" --
Stude AC3311
Hastings 212
NAPA 1055, 1049
Wix 51049, 7, PC55
Purolater PER5
Baldwin V9A, B9
AC PF31
Fram PH11, HP2
STP S07
Motorcraft FL2DP
Oil Filter "Full-Flow, Spin-On type, Short-Style" --
Stude NSN
Hastings 222, P222
NAPA 1618, 1258
Wix 51258
Purolater PER33
Baldwin V39A

It appears that many of these oil filters are obsolete or unobtainable. I'd appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks!
