Army/Navy might have something. If it were me, hit jeggs first. They usually carry the cool AN stuff.

Well.... I don't know where the hell they came from, so maybe too old?

At least I only bought one of these Wix filters.

@manicmechanic007 I was doing some research, and the SSP and SVO Mustangs ran this filter. Have you ever ran an FL300? It's a little shorter version of the FL1A.

Correct, it's a 3/4-16 thread. The FL820S is M22x1.5 thread.

Oil filter books in O'Reilly's USED to have threads in the back. New ones don't, making larger or smaller filter options, space allowing, difficult.
