[Mgs] Moss Spin-on oil filter adaptor

[Richard Ewald]

They are, but it's funny how some part numbers stick in your head, while
other don't.
for some screwy ass reason, PH-8 sticks in my head.  I have to think about
FL-1 (same application different maker).
About these filters.  There are only about 4 different threads and about 3
or 4 different gaskets between all the different spin on filters out there.
for example, want a V8 Ford filter gasket and thread, but shorter?  Buy a
spin on to fit a  gas engined Volvo 1962-1998.  same thread, same gasket,
shorter body.
