I am installing the spin-on oil filter adaptor on my 64B project car. It
started when I couldn't get the 20+ year old o-ring seal out of the
block groove plus knowing I'd have to line up the canister and old
adaptor with the block on reassembly and aligned so that the assembly
doesn't leak oil. It seemed like time to try the spin-on adaptor and
thus be done with the messy canister filter changes. I finally had to
take a drill to split the 0-ring seal so I could get a small screwdriver
blade under the rubber and finally get the seal out - all now petrified
rubber.
I'll be putting in the spin-on adaptor today but it looks like a nice
kit so I'll probably convert my 67BGT over as well on its next oil
change. I ordered the kit but not the filter as it looks like Moss has
the filter marked up maybe $2-$3 more than local cost. They identify the
filter as 235-880 or the WIX filter as 235-830. Today's question - what
does that translate to in terms of a WIX, Napa, or Fram filter number? I
usually get my filters at NAPA where their gold filters are just
rebranded WIX filters.
