I hope this helps Doug. Here is a photo showing what we offer. (With the reproduction filter comes the correct stamping, NOS hoses and clamps. Only the filter is different in the mix of things.) I also wanted to show a picture of the inside of an NOS unit. I was "teased" about how the inside element must be a broken down inferior old mess. This particular person also remarked, "how could anyone trust one of these on their new engine rebuild"!?!?! Well, the "joke" is on HIM!! The filter element is a resin coated material that is manufactured to withstand harsh caustic fluids. When I contacted the manufacturer, they claimed that the internal filtering element has an indefinite shelf life when kept dry! They are just as reliable as ones that are currently manufactured! Anyway I hope this ties a few of the loose ends up regarding these parts. Thanks!
