[DeTomaso] 351c oil filter

[Jim Hendrickson]

I remember hearing something about MotorCraft filters actually being made by
Purolater. Anyone know if that is true?

They had horrible quality control problems.   They moved production of the 
HP-1 offshore to the Philippines.   Performance cars with high pressure oil 
pumps were literally *exploding* Fram filters when they revved to high rpm.
They 
also fell apart internally and sent all sorts of filter debris through the 
engine.

They may have corrected these flaws by now.   But genuine Ford filters are 
reckoned to be the best, or among the best.   And nobody else makes a filter

like the FL1-HP with such a heavy-duty case.
