I guess that'd make sense that they were made the 265th and 321st day of 97'. I think the Allied name was dropped off of products before the year 2000.
When did Fram stop using those PTFE coated red colored gaskets?

A google search is useless too. Made in Ontario Canada
Those are pretty old. I personally wouldn't run one till I had cut and determined the ADBV wasn't hard as a rock, and at that age the glue could be a concern. It could be dried out, cracked and flaking off. Horrors!

Was that enough to get you to cut one???
Oh I guess I'll cut one. Pretty bummed FRAM couldn't decipher the date of manufacture.
