[Spridgets] Bugeye/Frogeye Club..... 1275cc spin on oil filter type & number

[Gerard]

Vigil,

A number of years ago, there was someone who did extensive research on  
oil filters. He reviewed just about every brand that was out there,  
cutting them open and examining how they were constructed and how they  
performed. He had a web site with all the results and recommendations.  
In the process, he pissed of a lot of manufacturers and they forced  
him to take down the web site. I had saved it somewhere, but it was so  
long ago, I'm not sue where I have it now. Anyway, he said Fram was  
about the worst. I recall the AC was highly recommended and that I  
think Penzoil was pretty good too. I have had some trouble finding  
anything but Fram at what remain ins of the local (to me) parts  
stores, but I have been using the Penzoil brand. - part number PZ21

It needs some updating, but see my web page for part numbers:
