I think Mark, that you are correct. And for those whom are limited by space, can relocate with a remote. For their V8s starting in '68 when went from a changable canister cartridge to a spin on, GM typically used one quart filters. Where room was limited, they used a 1/2 quart. Chrysler did the same. Probably Ford too. I forget the model number GM used in their trucks (not passenger trucks), but was a 2 quart filter. I loved BB Chevys and used the 2 quarts with Moroso remotes mounted to the firewalls or frames. Unlike 2.5 ton trucks, wasn't the ground clearance to spin on a 2 quart on a car.

I agree with you. Oil filter should be as unrestrictive as possible. Lots of face (filtering area).

I barely remember what it was like to drive one of those Novas, Camaros, or Chevelles. I remember was fun for the eyeballs to get pushed back into their sockets with every gear, but not how much fun anymore. Now I putt putt around on tractors. What happened to me?
