Purolator Spin On Oil Filter Head - SORTED

Post by sugarhiccup »

Hi all,

Looking for a ‘Purolator’ type spin on oil filter head that has the full-sized mating face to the block. I believe these may have been used on Sprite/Midgets at some stage?

Picture for reference:

Postage to Australia or U.K. can be achieved.

Many thanks! :)

You do realize there are two versions. One places the filter further away from the block and transmission. I haven't jigged up one with sub frame in years. I believe there was a sub frame clearance issue with the longer one. I do like the short ones as they have the larger mounting area and threaded steel insert. Steve (CTR)

Hi Steve,

Thank you, yes I had read this in another forum thread at some stage. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention again.

I would be looking for the compatible, shorter filter head option that doesn’t have clearance issues.

Cheers :)

The part number on the one I have is CAM6684, which hopefully should make it easier to find one

Hi Toby,

Thanks for the heads up! I appreciate your message.

They must indeed be very hard to come by, as a google search against this part number yields nothing for me!

Still, I can hold out hope one might turn up…

Cheers mate! :)

The last one I saw for sale was on Facebook marketplace, that sold fairly quick. Have seen them on Ebay too. Good luck with the search!

Managed to finally track one down in the U.S.! It became apparent that they’re definitely not that easy to find…

One of the best modifications that you can do to your car. No more oil running down your arm and a filter change done in 2 minutes. Paint it and the cannister mid bronze and no one will even notice! Pete the Pom
