nice work on the bottom embossment.

Looks good! Did you take an original bottom embossed filter and repaint? I had stencil kits made up for our PF29 (68) and it works quite well. Again, looks good!

[Danzo]

Yes, original filter freshened up

Was that a NOS or used filter?

This assembly line correct oil filter re-creation is based on on original service replacement PF-25 oil filter that's been re-stenciled. I commissioned the stencils for my 1969 Z project and Doc has a couple of those stencils. See Posts 280 to 284 in my TC build thread https://www.camaros.net/forums/133-build-projects/337897-1969-camaro-rs-z-28-brooklyn-project-19.html

These filters were “borrowed” by a GM Framingham plant employee back then. He then put a racing sticker on to cover his tracks. When I received them someone tried to peel the sticker off. One filter had a trace of the AC logo. There was no blue or red ring on either filter. I stripped the filters , repainted and re-stenciled.

Doc, did you picture them to document? NCRS knows of examples but has not had enough documentation to make any changes to their judging manuals.

[Danzo]

I did not

Danzo......are you really going to use that oil filter on your car?......(just wondering)..

I had a similar oil filter that had dating back to 1971 (car / year fitment).  I was going to use it, but a friend of mine who is a GM mechanic, talked me out of it.....thinking about the age of the filtering media.  He was afraid of the media falling apart / clogging...but who knows....

So I sold it on eBay......
