I took the number off the iol filter on my motor it is PH 13 fram.The problem is I went to a.z.and thier books dont even list that part number.I dont know what year the motor is.Where is the number that would tell me that on the block?Any help on this would be great.

 

Fram PH13 is a common Filter on GM V8, try with Baldwin B6 or AC Delco PF35, they work too.

 

I figured that. I didnt have any other options as it was sunday morning and auto zone was the only place open.

 

All the Gen1 V8 engine's from the late 1950's until 1992 use the same filter (PH30). Not a non-existent PH13, you sure you're reading yours right?
But, I would stay away from the orange Fram "PH" filter, the base has a poor bypass design. Their "TG30" filter is fine to use though.
However, I prefer to use the STP filter #S8873 because it got good reviews by a testing facility, and it's the same identical (relabeled) filter as the AC-Delco.

 

Probably is cause he have a Black Magic Engine....LOL

PH13 is seen a lot in TBI and up, at least around here in 2wd modes

 

In stores, I've never seen or had a PH13 as an application fit for these engines. Doing an online search shows it to be a marine filter.

 

The long 2-qt SBC truck engine filter works well and gives you a extra quart of oil in the system. Started using one since my first oil change in 1987 and there is NO clearance problems.

 

Thank you guys I really appreciate the input.I went to carquest I got one from them theirs are built by wix They are suppossed to be one of the best they make filters for every body I guess.
