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..

i do not agree with the negative  word re fram. i cut open every filter  i change,present frame filters are fine as are most other name brand filters.  when converting to spin on remember to trim the socket so you get max grip on a short nut that must be removed to inst adaptor. the concern for room is un founded.spin ons take less space than oem can.
the tin plat for conversion are to thin,i drill a couple of holes across from slotted oil feed to even the clapping of gasket also glue the gasket so it stays in place. in the end made my own adapter plat from alum. tubing. lots of lathe time  but works great
