Is anyone repoping the original oil filters that were used in 1970? Thanks.

Are you referring to part number 77R06287 in the new 2008 Mopar Restoration Parts Supplement Catalog ?

I was hoping to find them at Carlisle this Summer.
The catalog just says "late availablity"

They are correct on earlier cars if you changed your oil in 72 or later...

...even if a detail freak may notice the omission of the letters M.R. found on originals... under the O circled R following MOPAR.....

That is a really nice piece....But, as you noticed Terry, seems there's always some small detail that gets missed.

I remember an original 1971 Dart and 74 Duster 318-2V and the oil filter was painted blue like the engine.

I have never seen a factory installed original assembly line filter on a 383 or 440 engine prior to 1972.

The Ad for the Hemi engine published by Chrysler Corp in 1967 shows th eengine painted and it does not appear that the filter has any over spray. However, it is not a very crisp photo.

How did they break-in the motors? Was it before they were painted? When was the first filter changed?

---

I believe it was changed during dealer prep after the car was delivered to the dealership. And the style pictured here would have been installed then.
In a related question, when doing a concours restoration, would restoring a car to showroom condition be acceptable or does it have to be to off the assembly line condition?
In my case I have a T/A, sold by Mr. Norms. I'd rather have Mr. Norms decal on the spoiler and Norms license plate frames on the car when its done. For that matter, to make the car assembly line correct, the exhaust tips would need to be loose in the trunk, not installed. That seems sort of ridiculous.
And for my restoration to showroom condition, this oil filter would be correct, not the green one.

Can anyone document their original filter as driven off the dealer's lot? Any Mopar filter has to be perfectly acceptable for concours judging, doesn't it?

Now if Michael's has this telltale embossed M on the top, it's an excellent looking piece ...even if a detail freak may notice the omission of the letters M.R. found on originals... under the O circled R following MOPAR.....
