does anyone recognize the oil filter housing pictured below? the paper element is approx 3" high x 2.75" wide, and the hole in the center should be approx .5" in diameter.i'm having a heck of a time finding it, and am wondering if it's enough filter for this engine. the aluminum 90 degree adapter the canister snugs up to reads fispa, torino, italy on the top. i'm not sure why the stock filter housing wasn't retained.
i just acquired a sprint abnormale, 149322970, first sold in holland, 1/26/61, manufactured 4/29/60. it's still red!
i believe this engine to be a 1750 , per the po, jim woods, who owned the car from 1987 until last week. he purchased it from carl schroder of san diego. if anyone has any knowledge of the car, please share.
overall, the car is in good shape, though there's plenty to do . hasn't run in 10 years. it's getting new vredesteins on powdercoated steel 15s, all new brakes, and a new exhaust to get rolling, and then we'll see...
i'll try to get a photo album up on shutterfly, but in the meantime, here are the pics of the oil filter in question. thanks in advance.
