I have a late May 65 HiPO San Jose car. Can anyone help me with what numbers would be on the bottom of the stamp and the numer at the top?
Thanks for the great help.

Dave I don't believe there is a consensus of how the numbering (date?) worked at this time.

Is there any other part on the car that might have a simmiliar number sequence that we can possibly relate to this oil filter number, I have a guy asking me locally about mine and I'm not 100% certain and don't want to steer him wrong.

... I can tell you that stamping ain't always easy...

I was getting frustrated and then I FOUND THE TRICK!

Do NOT spray some flat surface that you then use as a stamp-pad.

DO spray a couple of light coats DIRECTLY onto the face of the stamp and then do the stamping.  Works perfect 100% of the time.
    * The paint gets a little tacky before you can get it stamped and that keeps it from sliding around.
    * The amount of paint on the stamp is very uniform this way.

Dave, I had forgotten your user name on here. It was good meeting you last Sunday at Palm Bay Ford!
My stamp has the numbers "2658" on it so if you'd like to use it in the intrum you are more than welcome to it.
I think we might have a stumper on our hands for now.....
Was that NICE Yellow '70 Boss 302 at the show yours?   -Rick

Rick,
It was great meeting you.
I sold my Boss 302 a while ago but mine was a twin to that one.
I will contact you by email about using your stamp. 
Thanks for the offer.

Dave

Keep up the nice work Dave - Nice to see someone actually taking a stab at making this stamp.

I HAVE a stamp sitting here on my desk. pretty accurate fonts, has "2658" on the bottom of it, if anyone would like to borrow it I'll send it their way-I'd like to borrow a date stamp that can do dates for 1965.....

I though the oil filters were installed at the engine plant and painted with the engine.  Therefor, the oil filter should be black for 65 and blue for 66 up with no ink stampings for a from the factory look.

@ kiehlr, I don't know how to post an image but I have a picture of an original oil filter that's painted black on the block and then ink stamped. I can post it if someone tells me how or email to you. Also, if you have a Mustang Monthly from February 1988, on pg 18 the first image on the top left shows a filter that was painted on the block and then stamped; again I don't mind scanning and then posting the image or emailing it to you.

I often wondered about the actual installation of the stamp myself.
I would have thought that provided the filter was installed BEFORE the engine was painted (1) what color the filter was to begin with? and how/who added the stamp since it looks almost impossible to stamp the filter with it installed.....

If the filters were installed when the enines were painted...(makes sense) ...then it makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE WHATSOEVER for Ford to go to the time and expense of putting any markings on them.

Any markings on the filters would only serve the purpose of tracability to the manufacturer in case there was any quality issues.

We do have to consider that many/at least some of the original oil filters we see pictures of today were ones that were smuggled out as lunch pail parts by workers so they.

Just a consideration
