As you have noticed, this family of oil filters is not a direct replacement

for the original, as it is about two inches longer with a far greater

capacity. It is also the most common oil filter on the planet, and is the

same one that I use for the spin-on adapter in my '72 Series III.

Other numbers include Fram PH-8A (though I don't use Fram 'cept to cross

over to something else), A/C PF-2, Purolator PER-1, Motorcraft FL293.

Purolator has just changed their numbering system and the one that I bought

two weeks ago was something like L3001....
