Ordered up a Baldwin B2 for the Ford 351m/400 i'm servicing on like we always have before. Made in USA and only $5 CDN.
Suprised when a Moroccan made Baldwin B2 showed up instead. Also had scratches in the dome end of the paint, you could tell it was a black filter painted red.
Called my other supplier and they sent out a Made in USA Baldwin filter.
Looks like the bypass valve is now in the dome end, not the threaded end like Ford intended.
Pictures of Comparison below. IMO it's not a Baldwin. and i'm surprised they switched the B2 over.
Guess I need to hit up my supplier for all the USA made Baldwin B2's they have left and stock up, as we use them on our 5.0L HO 302 mustangs, my 347 HO stroker, Ford 351M/400 trucks, Ford 2.3 lima engines, Ford ranger 4.0L's. and my 300 inline 6 fairmont, as well as my mopar LA's and magnum v8's.
Their website is still showing a front end bypass valve:
