How to do it: Go to the Wix filter lookup site http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/index.asp I recommend Wix because it includes Triumphs and other rather obscure vehicles, and gives all the information you need. Here's a 1980 Triumph Spitfire 1500 http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/index2.asp?Section=1&Make=77&SubMake=&Model=912&SubModel=2350&Engine=&Year=1980&TempSection=1&TempMake=77&TempModel=912&TempEngine=&TempSubModel=2350&TempYear=1980
You'll see the oil filter part number listed, click it for details about the filter. You'll see it's the standard 3/4-16 thread fitting, and the rest of the info about the gasket, shell size, and valves. Print it or copy it. Do this for each vehicle you've got. Now go to the Baldwin site. http://catalog.baldwinfilter.com/ Click on catalog info, sub size chart. That will bring up a .pdf document of all the filter specifications. http://catalog.baldwinfilter.com/oring.pdf if you don't want to explore. Starting on page five of that document you find the filters listed, sorted by thread size. Mid way down page five it starts the 3/4 x 16, and continues through most of page 6. All of those filters will thread up to a Spitfire, and most of them will seat on the engine boss. Spend some time comparing gasket dimensions and specifications for some close matches to your application(s). If you look at your engine, you can see how close the current gasket comes to the edge of the boss to know how much extra room you've got. Take the Baldwin part number(s) and cross it back over to the filter manufacturer of your choice. ----------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication may be confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
