shorter oil filter?
i just bought this notch and i dont know if its was a converted 4 cyl or what, but i cant get the normal ph8a fram oil filter to thread on cause the sway bar is in the way, there was a shorter napa filter on there but napa aint open on sunday so i had to go to schucks and search for somthing that looked the same thread size and i found this k&n that probably a whole inch shorter than what im suppose to have and probably aquarter inch shorter then the napa filter that was on the car, i seems to have threaded on and isnt leaking, will having this short filter cause any problems?

You're lucky the fram didn't fit . I don't think having the shorter filter will cause any problems. My dad's mountaineer with the 5.0 has to use a shorter filter because of clearance also (and that's how it came from the factory).

mustang II's also had a 1/2 quart filter (although a regular one fits fine). as stated though, the frams are junk. i must admit i have used them my whole life until i saw them all cut open and i will never buy another one.

ph4 or ph16 i think is the shorter one, some places call for it on the reg 5.0 and 4banger aside from the cobra, its also supposed to be the ssp one
