Sumner :
AFAIK, all the Purolator heads have the word 'Purolator' cast into
them. On later 3's and 3A's, it is on the rear top edge, with the head
mounted on the engine, and quite easily seen while installed in the
car. If yours doesn't have it, it is probably a Tecalemit, which would
also match the fine threads. On the Purolator heads, the bolt that runs
through the center of the cartridge has 3/8-16 threads on it.
I'm sure TRF will exchange, if you happen to get the wrong one.
BTW, Moss's kit now fits either head. I wonder if TRF is selling the
same adapter under two different part numbers. Let me know, will you ?
