Getting ready to change the oil in my '69 C-50 350 V8 that's presently equipped with the canister type filter. I went to Advance Auto, OReilly's and NAPA with NAPA being the only source (of these 3) that could locate one and it's in Boston. The guy wasn't even sure that it was the one that I need and shipping cost (about $12.00) is not refundable. I really don't want to take it apart unless I have what I need to put it back together. Otherwise I'd get the old one out and try and cross reference it.
That's when I thought what the heck, I'll just install an adapter so I don't have this hassle in the future. Rather than inquire again at the auto parts stores, I thought I'd just do my own research online. Many different brands, several styles and prices out there.
My biggest concern was I came across an article in a forum (not Stovebolt) that said the adapter for the truck engine is not the same as one used on a typical sbc. Is this true? I did notice that the canister on my truck looks way larger than the one I remember having on my '67 Chevelle with a 283.
FYI: I did search this topic before posting but didn't find the answer to my specific question.
