[b]So did you discover your problem Al/Casaleenie? When you say that you are not mechanically inclined, I am beginning to get the idea!

Rick,

bout' time you got the idea....

Not sure what the problem was with the Fram but I do know how to install a filter..THANK YOU!!!. Lubricated the gasket and did all the normal stuff.. Didn't overtighten. No double gasket...etc.
Bill Parnam from Southern Automotive e-mailed me and said I should be OK it the oil pressure was the same as before.. 20/50 Castrol used.. The pressure started out at 40lbs and when it warmed up it came up to 55lbs.. I would have thought it should have been the reverse????
I'm still wondering if the filter they gave me in the first place was the wrong one????
It measured 1/16 narrower diameter over the hole in the center but the gasket was the same diameter???
