That filter is probably correct but I ended up going with Napa Gold Filter #3033 https://www.napacanada.com/en/p/NGF3033

But a funny thing happened on the way to the NAPA store....... The night before I read the first two responses and then the next day I came back to the clubcobra site to write the part# down but the website wasn't working all day. So I drove over to NAPA, showed them a picture of my filter and when he asked what size......I said 3/8 because that's all I remembered from the posts. So he then proceeded to sell me Part #3032.
It came with two small pieces of hose and in each one I stuffed a bolt so I could use them as gas stoppers. I pulled the hose off one end of the old filter and when I tried to jimmy the gas stopper on of course it wouldn't fit because it was 5/16! I had an oil catcher close by and I just decided to let all the gas drain out. When you don't have a lot of room to work with and you're getting spashed in the face with gas you don't have a lot of time to make decisions. So an oil catcher, and some pots and pails later I no longer had to worry about my gas stoppers. When I got the older filter off it was easy to see the problem. $11 filter. $50 gas. Problem solved!
