356A Oil Canister Color

#1 Post by Steve Nau »

This has surely been covered but I cannot find it on the forum.
In Neal's book he says "there were several original equipment filters, the most common being the silver "H" filter or the orange "Fram" filter.
Is there any way to know what was used based on year? Was it different based on "Normal" vs. "Super" engines?
