Hi Randall,
Here it is: pp93 with picture.
"There are 3 types of oil filter, and while the replacement filter elements
are identical, the seating ring and numerous other spares are different,
making it important that you identify the filter system you have. The early
"bypass" filter arrangement can be identified by the absence of a hexagonal
nut on the top of the casting that bolts to the crankcase. All later cars
use full flow filters which have a hexagonal nut on the top of the casting.
There are two types of full flow systems, though, the Purolator and the
Tecalemit. If you look closely you should find the manufacturers name cast
into the filter head, but as a secondary check, the Purolator uses a coarse
thread on the long central bolt while the Tecalemit uses a fine one." I
would think Paul needs to first look for this hexagonal nut.
