Is there some characteristic of the cannister that helps ID them. Mine had no paint or decals and I would like to restore to original color. Thanks | | |

AC... I have seen them... blue body, orange top and also have seen them all blue, body and top. | | |

Thanks. Jim Carter's catalog has a note which says "Note, Fram uses corrugated cone bottom". I ask the "sales person" what that meant and she said something to the effect that Fram cannisters were dippled or corrugated on the bottom and AC's were not. Anyone confirm this or shed any other light on the subject? | | |

You can get decals for the AC or Fram. | | |
