crash2012 - Guessing from the colors, that's a Fram filter housing. Looks really tall for a typical 216/235 bypass filter but it could just be the angle of the picture.

You might ask on the forum I've linked below. They have an entire section on bypass filters.

That does look like an extra long filter. It is a Fram. You might check to see if filters are available for it.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

a Fram C4P is roughly 4 7/8 tall and 4 1/4 diameter

I believe that filter will be to short for your canister.

do you have an old element you can measure? maybe take to NAPA for comparison

American Classic Truck Parts shows a taller filter
