Oversize oil filter question

[Bill Kapaun]

WIX 51773 6.9" long
Baldwin BT-253 7.1" long
HASTINGS LF426 7.1" long

Look for a filter that fits the Ford 600-800 series trucks.

There is no bt253 baldwin, I think you may have meant a bt251. Bt251 has teh 3/4-16 ford/mopar threads with teh right gasket. Also, is 7.1 inches tall. Big filter, almost holds two quarts.

Not trying to be a twit, just dont want anyone to get wrong info and cause them a problem.

Dan,
Thanks for the correction!
Somehow I wrote down 253 in my notes instead of 251.

Also, the Motorcraft FL-299 fit's in to the category of "long" filters.

Further to Greaser's reply in regards to the Ford 302 ci filters - I got Acklands-Grainger in Oshawa, to order me half a dozen Baldwin B2HPG(High Performance Glass) filters. They're $10 and change each, plus tax, Cdn. According to a Baldwin Tech. Rep. this filter is supposed to filter down to 6 microns. Filter length is 5 inches however, not 7.

Sorry aldive, I just noticed you're in Fla. I mistakenly picked up on Greaser's, Windsor location and figured the Acklands-Grainger connection would be of some use, you know, being Canadian and all. Some of us get smarter as we age and some of us just get older.
