I stopped by my Local Napa today on lunch and picked up an oil filter for my brothers 383 Barracuda.

I have been running a Wix 51515 on mine, I have never ran the Napa Gold filter before. I wanted to make sure I picked up the correct the correct filter.

To get the Napa number, just drop the first numeral from the Wis number. Example; Wix 51515 = Napa 1515 Wix 51773 = Napa 1773. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...rue#Post4540133 "No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness." - Aristotle

I could see the Federal clearing because it mounts high I don't know how to ID the pump. The Coronet R/T 440 4 speed did not come with PS. It was added 10 years ago with components from another BB car. There is at least an inch and a half clearance for the PS belt above the long filter.

When changing BB filters I use a small tin cooking sheet, bend the edges around to hold whatever oil spills, angled down in front over the drain pan. You can fill the filter at least halfway and spin 'em on before much drips out.
