Title: What oil filter did the '65 GT350 have?
Post by: mikeljgt500kr on February 06, 2024, 06:56:41 PM

Was it the red Rotunda one, or something else?  Thanks for any info.

the red rotunda was a service item. was not used on the line. the line filter was the same shape/size but painted engine color. a search here will most likely yield some pics.

Thanks, yes it has that black one, I was just wondering since the red Rotunda is such nicer looking than that black thing.

There are a number of threads discussing the filter and markings. K codes got the same as other 289s I believe

Here is a thread that is the combination of three earlier threads
