I can't seem to find my handy-dandy Haynes manual, but I went to AC
Delco's Web site at
http://www.acdelco.com/parts/oilfilter_cat_set.htm and looked at the
oil filter listing for a 1968 Spitfire (they don't list 1967
Spitfires, but it's the same 1300 engine). They list a PF13 as the
correct filter (same as for my 1500).
Now, if I recall from my 1500 correctly, there were a couple of
different thread adapters sold, which means that some cars take
different filters than others. Also, not everyone is going to want a
plain-jane AC Delco filter (see discussion on TR list a few weeks
ago). But this might serve as a starting point for you, since you
can see whether a $2.95 filter will fit and then use a
cross-reference catalog to select a better one.
Hope this is of some use.
