<VV> Oil Filter Leak

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

I really appreciate all the comments on leaking ail filters.  I've  shown 
them all to my wife who no longer thinks I'm eccentric for buying all  those 
PF4s from Trak Auto before they went out of business.  She just  wishes I'd 
sell all my running wrecks and buy someone's finished car.

Well, starting back in 1972, when I  first started with Corvairs,  the AC 
PF-4 fit all my Corvairs without  leaking; as did all the, then, current  
day 
aftermarket filters. From  1960, through 1969, other than changing the  
angle 
of the generator  vs alternator mounting boss, the oil filter mounting  
configuration  remained identical year-to-year. Ditto for the AC angle  
adaptor...  
the sealing surfaces have the same engineering features as the   non-air 
conditioned filter adaptor. Any filter, intended for Corvair use,  should  
fit 
and not leak when installed with reasonable care. After  39 years, I 
believe  
I can change a Corvair  filter.

Cheers!
