I usually buy the filters for my '53 powerglide engine by the case, so it has been a while since I purchased a filter. I am getting down to the end of my supply, so I thought I would check into availability. The last filters I bought were NAPA 1100. I was at NAPA and asked to see one of these filters. The diameter of the old filter was 4.5 inches. The new filter is 4 inches. The included gasket was the correct size. Checked at Carquest. Same thing. I think both filters are made by WIC.
The smaller filter would fit fine, but I think the older filter would have more filter medium in it.
Curious to know if there is a better choice of filter available rather than the WIC/NAPA/Carquest?
Thanks,
Kurt
