Updated Table of the FL-1A & Equivalent Oil Filters

[Big O Dave]

These are typical "Ford" oil filters and have 3/4-16 threads, with 2.834" O.D. gaskets.

I'll be posting photos and beta numbers (where available) soon.

Can you tell me the O.D. of the FL-1A can itself?

Wow. This table makes me doubt my recent choice to put the Purolator L30001 on my van instead of the PH8A!

Thank you! Seems this may (just) be the "big Ford filter" with the smallest diameter (albeit a few thousandths). The Purolator is 3.7something, and the Napa/Wix is 3.66. I know the Purolator won't fit (tried it) it touches my timing belt cover. This Motorcraft may work.

Thanks,
Dave
