Oil filter replacement

Good day all,

This may have been discussed in another thread but I am in need of some help.

I recently purchased a 1966 Barracuda with a swapped out 360LA doing the oil change for this coming season the oil filter I took off is dated 2013 ans is discontinued. It was a Fram FP8A.

All of the newer filters all have recessed threads. The old oil filter the threads are almost flush to the lip. I tried to put a newer filter on with no success as it will not meet the threads.

Is there an adapter that can be purchased for the newer oil filters or is there an oil filter that is made for classic cars that is a more flush threads.

Thank you

Fram numbers for your engine are PH8A or PH16 depending if you have the long (PH8A, normally used with the right angle filter mount) or short (PH16, mounts directly to block) filter.
Cross reference those numbers to the filter brand of your choice.
If a new filter is not engaging the threads, make sure that the rubber gasket/seal from the old filter is not still stuck on the engine- old seal + new filter= guaranteed failure if you can get it mounted.
