No, it takes a shorter filter, changed it recently, I'll check the # for
you.
I "think its a PF-2, but don't quote me, I'm sure someone knows for sure" AC
Delco makes a very good filter, finer micron, less resistance than most, and
WITH a check valve. Some Frams have check valves, some don't.
BUT, as i was under the car looking around....i noticed

replace it with a new one if you want emisions functioning on your car.
These do not last and usually sieze up and the belt snaps.

help
Bricklins can run hot, there are a lot of remedies, some more exotic than
others. Because of an increase in HP (and heat), I had a 4 row core
installed (AMC Jeep), twin fans in push mode set at 160degree, a Flexalite
Aluminum race fan with spacer (2") instead of clutch, a low temp t'stat, and
water wetter. My B usually holds at 180degrees and thats in Miami traffic.
Now, some believe the 4row plugs too easy, but hey, just keep the damn thing
clean. Normal maintenance will do just fine.
Hope this helps,
