The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Oil Filter for 1946 235

I have been having a bit of trouble finding an oil filter element for my 46 235! Even the NAPA guy can't find it! The number on the old one is: AC P115 and has the Military number: MS-34356-1 on it. So far, these numbers don't cross to anything close to what I need. Anyone know a NAPA Number (or any other)?
Thanks!

I have a '59 235, it has the large canister filter that U-bolts to the exhaust manifold. Someone had put the wrong element in it so I went on a short wild goose chase.

The one that fits mine is a NAPA 1100 element. They actually had it in stock! If your's is like mine, you have to siphon the oil out of the canister, as there is no drain plug.
Hope that helps.

The AC P115 filter number crosses directly to a FRAM number "C21" or "C21P" and to a WIX number of 51100
Hope that gets you going in the right direction.... This is according to my 1984 Fram and 1988 Wix filter books

There have been 2 popular filters used on these. The dealer installed filters were AC. The aftermarket were Fram. The Fram cartridge number is C-4. I don,t remember the AC. (50 years ago) number. The Ac uses a 5/8 wrench on the cover bolt & the Fram uses a 7/8 or sometimes has a big wing nut. Any parts store should be able to come up with a cartridge or the specialty stores have them. The specialty stores usually go by diameter.

I hope you had a little luck by now,when I first tried to find an oil filter for my 235,it was a bit of a search.Advanced auto was great they ended up ordering 3 different types some close but no luck.I went to napa and gave them the measurements of the inside of my cartridge holder.With out even looking it up they said their universal filter for older farm equipment and various older vehicles it was their 1010.And it fit like a glove.But i had to buy some cork gasket material and make 2 ring gaskets to fit inside the top.Sometimes the little thing's can be a challenge,good luck&hang in there,Chad

I am using the Wix 51100 The one I took out was a Fram, not sure what number it was but I didn't like how it was constructed, I like the wix much more. Is there an AC Delco filter available?

The diametrical difference between the Fram C21(P) and the C4 filters is as follows;
Outside diameter C4- 4 5/16 and C21P- 4.5 inches
Inside diameter C4 and C21P both 9/16
Height C4- 4 13/16 and C21P- 5 inchs
Gasket number(Fram) C4 151915 C21P 125405
Gasket dimetions
Outside diameter C4 4.75 and C21P 5.128
Inside diamter C4 4 11/32 and C21P 4 3/8
Thickness C4 1/16th and C21P 3/32nd

The Fram C21(P) interchanges with the AC115 and WIX 51100 and NAPA 1100 filters
The FRAM C4 interchanges with the WIX 51006 and NAPA 1006 filters

Hope this helps

The oil filter on my '44 Chevy 235 says it is made by Winslow Manufacturing. It is about 8" deep and a bit more that 4" ID. Is has a number on the top, USF No. 8-C.

I wonder if your's is anything like this, and of course I am in-search of the element for the 8-C, if anyone can help.
