oil filter gaskets

Hi, I'm knew as you all know. I have a 1960 f100 with a 292. i have a oil leak at the oil filter. It still has the cannister type. I am looking for the paper gasket that mates the block and the plate together and I also need the rubber gasket that seals the cannister to the plate. Any help is appreciated
Thanks Mike

No such gasket shown or listed in Ford parts catalogs.

I also need the rubber gasket that seals the cannister to the plate.

Welcome to FTE

Why mess (in more ways than one) with the old by-pass cannister oil filter when you can install a gen-u-ine Ford full flow Spin-On oil filter using its adapter kit instead?

While this kit was introduced in 1957, it was an option on some 1957/64's. I just looked this same puppy up for a member of the 1961/66 forum.

B7A-6882-A .. Spin-On Oil Filter Adapter Kit - Use with Motorcraft FL-1A Oil Filter (most common oil filter used 1957/96) / Obsolete / 1,537 (!!) available NOS.

Passenger Car/Truck applications: 1952/53 215 I-6 / 1954/64 239/256/272/292/312 Y blocks / 1954/64 223 I-6.

Some sources that have the kit =

The LINCOLN-MERCURY OLD PARTS STORE in Clearwater FL has 5 = 727-445-7551.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 8 = 800-543-4959.

I like how Bill thinks.... In the very short time I ran the 223 with a canister, I had 2 leaks at the gasket. Spin on? Never

Thank you for the response, I was told that there is a impregnated paper ring or gasket that goes between the block and the oil filter plate. I will go with the adapter kit.thank you very much
