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 left Fram years ago before the internet because the race engine builders I knew told me there were better ones out there for slightly more. After the internet and especially You Tube where brand new ones were cut open to see what was actually inside, ie: filter media, glue, washers, spacers, valves, etc. it showed the poor products and craftsmenship of a Fram. Granted they had more than one model to choose from. Purolater, Wix, and NAPA always seemed at the top especially when the small items of the filter were pointed out and not just the media.
I too now cut everyone open with a filter cutter my son bought for his dirt car engines looking for debris. For my street I have found very little to nothing metallic which is fine. He uses Wix Racing filters we buy by the case off Amazon. I do miss the ease of the gripping surface of the Fram but won't go back.
