Dunno the pn but the equivalent to a Fram PH16. I think it's the FL-300.

PS. I recall the old part # for the shorter filter in AC was pf-25, it was used on dodges back in the 60-70's same thread just shorter.

There are 2 different filter adapters. The sideways one came on 2wd and a 90 degree came on 4wd's. I think!
My 390 was swapped into a 79 and the 90 degree adapter positioned the filter over the axle and put a dent on the bottom of the filter just riding around the fields.
Just be sure to have a look if you swap adapters.

Before I put the lift on it I just didn't think there would be enough space to get a filter in sideways.
Oh well, sorry folks. My exclamation point should have been a question mark.

The regular size filter doesn't fit with the 78-79 steering gear.
Only the short filter.
So you're prolly right.
I keep getting the years mixed up be cause I have 78-79 gear on my 74.
So prolly my mistake in vintage.
