Looks like a 71 I had because it had sustained some front left fender damage that was not properly repaired prior to my sale of the car. Where is it located and which engine and tranny are in it?

I've never had any issue with Fram products. For these older engines, you change the oil annually anyway, so unless the filter explodes, there should be no need for higher end products.

Did the old filter gasket stay on the engine or did it come off on the filter? What you described looks just like an issue I've seen in the past where the old gasket remained on the oil filter mount (where the filter attaches) causing too little clearance for the new filter to bite the threads.

Blue smoke is usually a sign of oil being burned. This could mean a lot of things. If it is at start up only, could be valve seats.

I'd check your lifters first. Easier than a head job. If the valves aren't opening and closing correctly, cylinders won't do much except be parasitic.

Thanks. Done.

Power Bulge Hood Do you still have this hood?

Do you still have the power bulge hood? I get to Houston frequently.

Will this fit a 1968 Coronet?

Sorry, never had a transmission, but I have a 383 Engine apart, cleaned and ready for modification (or not) and reassembly after machining. Asking $400 for that. Includes everything from carb to oil pan. No Fan or fan pulley.

Do you still have this setup? Please PM. I am close to TN.
