That's exactly what I use in my 1948 Ford panel truck (GM crate 350) so using the same in both vehicles eliminates one (small) headache of keeping different products.

Great; see above.

I don't see an oil filter anywhere on the exterior of the engine. What I've found in pix (on the web) has it on the passenger side between the carb and the front of the engine. Is this what you're talking about?
