Hi folks.
Can anyone tell me what the dash-mounted cannister is for on this ten photo?
Thanks,

It looks like an oil filter to me. I have seen similar filters on 15's and 8C's.

I can confirm it is an oil filter as my 15 has the same unit. Gary

Read this post this morning and thought off and on all day, then finally remembered!
I believe that is a "Purolater" brand. A common aftermarket attachment that was installed on Cars, Trucks and Tractors. It is a bypass type, not a full flow.

My unit is a Fram with a Westline Standard R5900 cartridge. Does anybody have a cross for a new filter? Gary
