The filter I think I need should probably be:
Top - 10.39" O.D., 7.28" I.D
Bottom - 9.78" O.D, 7.28" I.D
possibly 3.22" tall.
I'm stumped. It's a Ford product. It shouldn't be that hard to find.
No catalog shows a filter that will fit. The closest one I found is from a Desoto. It fits but not perfectly.
I think the filter I need might be an AC A82C filter but I haven't found the dimensions for it.

If you notice the lid is flush with the Purolotor element.
I believe your asking for that 3" height is a bit much as your lid sits a bit high.
I think the A40013 filter I am suggesting is correct.  |
Yeah, I think you are correct also. I could find no referece to an element that tall.
