Why not just buy a NOS canister? I had two of them and sold one on Ebay last year for only about $25. According to the Chevrolet parts catalogs all 56-67 Corvettes use the same one, GM # 5574535 in Gr. 1.837.
What is the bolt marking on your original canister?

the 56-57 can is longer than the 58 thru 67 cans. you could use a 56-7 can on the 66 427 but you'd have to use the 56-7 oil filter element if doing such.stick with the 58 up can on your 66. mike

$25.00 for an NOS cannister is a steal.

Did all 66 427/425's have oil cannisters?

yes, all corvettes 56 thru 67 had metal oil cannisters enclosing a disposable filter element. it was popular back in the 70' etc to get rid of the canister and replace it with an element that was a spin-on much like today's engines. . mike

Oil canister restoration; Another vote for Orindales

I'll give another vote for Ken Hansen = Orindales. He did mine for a very fair price and it came out great. I would go back to Ken in a heartbeat if I needed another done.

...and some engines used a canister-style oil filter AFTER 1967 even though the 68+ blocks were changed to facilitate the new spin-on filter adapter. In this case, a special adapter was used to allow the use of a canister-style filter on a block designed for spin-on.

So, what were those applications? Trucks and some taxi and police cars.

Re: 66 427 425 oil canister restoration

I don't see where anyone has mentioned whether they use silk screening on their restorations or a decal. Also, be careful of the aftermarket cans. Make certain it is NOS, as they repros are only about half the thickness.
