A lot of Fords were that way. You turned the wheel here, put the wrench there, looked over your right shoulder and spit, and the filter came out. Unless the wind was blowing from the north, then it wouldn’t. The answer is the shorter filter

Might be why so many Y blocks didn’t get the oil and filter changes they should have. Combined with non detergent oil you get the upper oiling problems.
