Hi There!

Hope you fellow stovebolters can help me. I purchased a 57 chevy 1/2 ton stepside. 235 engine.
It has the canister filter hooked up. The truck appears to be all original. I recently detailed the motor and went through a full tune up. I have a few other toys, but this is the only one that has the canister oil filter actually installed. So I wanted to replace the oil cartridge. When I opened the filter it had a cartridge that looked a little short and not wide enough for this canister. The cartridge had the manufacturer and part number: carquest 85076.

I ran that name and number on google.com and found that napa auto parts carried a filter with the same specs napa part number FIL 1076. I figured what the heck, I could live with this cartridge even if it was incorrect. I hit a snag though, when I went to replace the round rubber gasket with the one that was supplied with the new cartridge it was too short and caused the canister to leak oil bad. I ended up putting the old gasket and the leak stopped. I know this gasket is not going to last forever. I need to find out what canister my truck came with so I can buy the correct cartridge and gasket.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
