Remote oil filter
Looks like the WIX 24770 will do the trick, but is there a more compact filter than the WIX 51515, Fram PH 8, or Baldwin B50 ? Thank you Fordbaners.

Re: Remote oil filter
Should be able to use any filter that meets the specs you are after. The older auto store parts manuals had the filters listed by specifications in the back of the book. Just need to look up thread size, the diameter the the seal area, bypass pressure, etc. I was looking for a different canister size for a Ford PH8 application and found a Studebaker filter that worked perfectly.
Something like these are what I was referring to. Boy, the 1-14 does seem to be an odd filter thread size. Did a quick look and I wasn't seeing much. Last edited by JSeery; 09-08-2020 at 06:50 PM. |

Re: Remote oil filter
The shorter version of a Fram PH8A is PH43. By the way, a B50 Baldwin is a bypass type filter (and uses a different thread size) and a Fram PH8A is a full flow type. Be careful not to substitute the wrong type. (but you probably know that).

Re: Remote oil filter
Cadillac, from what I am seeing these are 3/4-16 thread filters and the WIX24770 base is 1-14. I'm I looking at it correctly?

Re: Remote oil filter
Yes,you are. I'm not sure why three different mounting sized filters were referenced in the first post.

Something like this: https://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Parts/944OFTA.html Not the correct base size I would assume, but it would be what you need in the correct 1-14 base size. |

Agreed. If the intended use is oil filtration for a flathead,a 3/4-16 (if you want full flow) base is common and inexpensive...lots available online. If bypass (original type) flow is needed,Baldwin makes a remote base that accepts their B50 filter. I'm running one on my '41 Merc.,mounted to the firewall. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BALDWIN-FIL...wAAOSwQMle9A~3 Terry

Re: Remote oil filter
Never, NEVER use a Fram filter.
There is nothing to them. Very little actual filter area. Cut one open and take look. Compare with a Wix or Baldwin or whatever. |

Re: Remote oil filter
On my remote I use a NAPA Gold 1374. It is shorter than Ford. See for specs

Re: Remote oil filter
Thank you all for the education. I converted the 59L to a 95% filtration system on where it comes from the pump through the main to the outlet side on the bell housing, and returns to the inlet side on the bell housing. What is the best remote oil filter mount and filter choice for that combination ? I would prefer a 3/8" pipe inlet & outlet on the filter to match the ones I tapped into the bell housing. Agreed on Fram quality, I have always used WIX.

Re: Remote oil filter
Guys, the filters you are listing are 3/4-16 thread size, he needs a 1-14. The Ford size filters are easy to come by, it is the 1-14 that is difficult.

Re: Remote oil filter
My remote filter kit came with various nipple sizes. So, you can use what ever thread you wanted.

Re: Remote oil filter
russcc;
Here's a base that accepts a normal 3/4-16 threaded full flow filter like a PH8A or FL1A. Lots of options for others will show up when you look at this one. I'm assuming you don't need the 1" thread size.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Derale-Engi...gAAOSw8Dxc3C52 Terry

Re: Remote oil filter
Ya, that's what's needed. From the little research I did I think the big issue is the base with the 1-14 threads is not intended for oil filters. If it was me, I would just get the correct base to start with and try and sell the other one to someone looking for a fuel or hydraulic filter base. Seems like a lot of hassle to work around the odd thread size (for an oil filter) for no more than a correct base would cost. Something like cadillac posted would work best IMO.

Re: Remote oil filter
Thank you all again. I have not bought a remote oil filter base yet. Because I have used WIx filters for years, that was the remote base I was focused on. If it, or some of the similar WIX model remotes are not 3/4-16 thread for an oil filter I will check out the suggested one. From what I can see, the WIX are made in the USA.

Re: Remote oil filter
Here are all the wix remote mounts all you need is a 3/4" thread and then pick out the design. This has been hashed over many times on the barn.
https://www.wixfilters.com/Speciality/Conversion.aspx 24762 should do it Ronnie |

Re: Remote oil filter
Wix filter size lookup. Select part type: Lube, then: Spin on. https://www.wixfilters.com/Lookup/FilterBySize.aspx

Re: Remote oil filter
Thanks again. I found the WIX 1085 filter I use on the Jeep 4.0 has 3/4-16 thread. So I am on the right track as that size is not too large. Now to check the footprint.

Re: Remote oil filter
Thanks to all of you for your help. I went through the WIX remote conversion options list provided by Ronnie, and does looks like the 24762 with a 3/4-16 thread he suggested will do it. It has vertical inlet/outlets which I need, and they all have 1/2" NPT threads so I have no choice there. The filter list provided by Tony NY was great for sorting through the filter options with 3/4-16 thread. The Jeep 1085 was one on them.
