old oil filter question

Hi all,

got a question about oil filter cartridges. I have a '62 Stude which
uses a replaceable-cartridge type oil filter. The cartridge is a Fram
C4 which is apparently a fairly common bypass-type cartridge. Here's
the thing, the housing was apparently made by Walker not Fram and the
gasket for the lid that comes with the cartridge doesn't fit. ISTR
buying a filter for my '56 a couple years ago and the cartridge came
with two gaskets. I think it may have been Hastings but I'm not sure.
Whatever parts store I go to I have to order these so they can't pull
one off the shelf and look. Can anyone help, if you have a car that
uses this filter and it comes with two gaskets can you tell me what
brand filter you're using? The gasket that was on the filter leaked,
and so did my half fast attempt at a quickie gasket with silicone. I
don't have time to let another bead of silicone set up, I'd like to
drive the car to a show Saturday and I won't be able to get to where it
is until Saturday morning.

thanks,

nate

Esay fix. Purchase a sheet of cork gasket material at any parts store.
Use the filter as a template and trace the shape. Cut with scissors
and install.

Easier fix.....

Have your local NAPA store look in the back of the paper catalog for the
listing on filter gaskets.

When I managed a NAPA stoer, we used to sell a particular hydraulic filter
to one of our customers that required a gasket that was different from the
one included in the box.

We looked it up by size in the back of the catalog, put it in stock, and
supplied a new, correct gasket with each filter we sold this customer.

Chances are good you will be able to buy one or a dozen of these gaskets
separately.

Sigh.. I was afraid you were going to say that, my stock of gasket paper
is depleted and the nearest *good* parts store isn't open on Saturday

that's odd, when I punched it up on the Fram website, it loked an awful
lot like the correct part :P
