December 21, 200321 yr comment_61471 Question I have now is, Would a Ford oil Filter be any Better? Thats a can of worms there There are some that will say no other's that say yes. But you can use the ford part # cross it over to your choice on brand. IMO it just makes life easy knowing the ford filter will always be on the shelf. VS asking for a Datsun part and hope they have it in stock.

December 21, 200321 yr comment_61482 carguyinok,Is that the FL1-A Motorcraft filter you are referring to? If so, there is comfort in knowing you will always be able to get one and I believe they have an anti-drainback valve built in as well.

If so, there is comfort in knowing you will always be able to get one and I believe they have an anti-drainback valve built in as well. I am not sure, it has been along time since I have been in to get one. It's been over 2 years so.... But that's when I found this out. I was in Autozone looking up parts and found the crossref. on oilfilters. I looked up the number for the Z then used the crossover book and found the ford part#. At that time they had bolth on the shelf. So I put them side by side and there twins.

January 5, 200421 yr comment_62799 Hey clutchdust, check out the wheel adapters from Ross Corrigan at www.modern-motorsports.com Every time I see some cheesey honda with really great looking rims I think of these adapters. I mean rims that would look really great on a Z.:devious: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/9319-ford-pattern-and-datsun-the-same/?&page=2#findComment-62799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
