flathead oil filters

hey folks,

I was wondering where all of you guys are getting your flathead oil filters. i just changed mine yesterday, and the one i got from so-cal was JUNK compared to the fram i pulled out. I am almost hesitant to put it in the car. Also, if anyone has any leads on the BIG filter (Fram c4n) for the 337 that would also help out a lot.

 

OPPS, just got a big one and cut it down to the standard size, but i bought a case of filters from Oreillys, they had to order them for me, didn't seem like it was any big deal.

 

Here's a big one:

Alleged NAPA and Delco regular filter #'s: FIL1006 P209

 

o'reilly's eh? i'll have to look into that. as for that other filter posted, mine is not so much tall as larger diameter and only slightly taller than the more common flathead type.

 

I solved that problem. I took the whole damn thing off and threw it across the yard. They don't work worth a shit anyway. Just change the oil more often.

 

I get 'em at the local Checkers - Fram C4P or C4

 

I've been using the NAPA part number: 1010 in their "gold" line.

The local parts guys sez it's actually made for a mercedes. I figure it's an upgrade for the filter to be used in a flattie.......

 

The cannister will function better as a beer mug.

 

Uuummmmmm

Doesn't the oil sorta make the beer taste like Crap!

 

I've been using the napa 1006 in my flathead no problems. They always have 1 or 2 in stock here.

DUH..... clean it first.
Be the first on your block.

 

i used wix in my customers woody wagon.
wix #51006

 

Sounds right. Wix and Napa use the same # cause it's the same company, but napa drops the 5- prefix on all thier packages.

 

Just put a Frantz on it and buy a case of toilet paper.
