Ford FL 200 is the stubby version.

Use an FL1-A from Motorcraft... nice fit on my 55 sedan. No need for a stubby, there is plenty of room in a 55/56.

ph8a was the fram number.same as all fords for years.there was a short one its the same as the one chrysler used for years on 318 and just about everthing

I bought the spin-on oil filter adapter.  No where in the directions does it tell what is the proper oil filter part number to use. 

I assume it is the same as the old Ford spin on filter that I have purchased in the past dozens if not hundreds of times.  Vaguely, I remember Fram PH-8???  I went to O'Reillys and their chart does not go back to my old '59 Ford or my old Maverick or Econoline.  I have spent an hour on the internet trying to get the same info with no success.

One more question.  I have a '56 2 dr and I don't see a lot of room for the filter.  Wasn't there a stubby version of the same filter for use in tight places?

Thanks guys, I know I'll get some good answers..
