Are they on some readily available  *aftermarket* sheets?

Knowing what year that filter was in use might narrow down some choices (if it is on a "stock" decal sheet). The interwebz suggests 1965-1991, but labels may have changed along the way.

Obviously i should have specified an aftermarket sheet with hopefully multiples.

I just checked a sheet of oil filter decals that I have.

Tons of Fram, Motorcraft, etc, but sadly, no AC.

Is printing your own on white decal paper an option?

Huh?

Revell 67 Nickey Camaro has 1 AC pf25 oil filter decal

[Deuces ll]

The PF-35 oil filter is longer than the factory installed (on cars) PF-25... It has more filtering capacity....

[Rodent]

Was asking questions about OEM filters on another thread related to the Revell 69 Chevelle SS396. The included decal in that kit is for a PF-25 as well, but there are no stripes, just the middle part of the decal. Was wondering what the color of the original filter was. Seemed to be split between white and blue.

 Thanks!

I always ran PF-35s. They changed the part number a few years back to something like 1048, who knows why. But someone probably got a bonus for it.?

The Chevrolet V-8 passenger car assembly line filter in 1969 looked like the one at the top of this thread and was a PF-25. Pickups and larger V-8 trucks got the PF-35. Same colors in 1969. The PF-24 is Pontiac for sure, maybe Buick and Olds, too. I have the original AC reference books, too lazy to look, though.

The paint reference chart in the Chevelle kit is kinda jacked up, and it calls for gold on the oil filter. I know that's not right. I was thinking white as well. As I said, the stripes aren't part of the decal. If I wanted a 100% correct oil filter, I would print my own from a 1:1. Not counting rivets here, but the Chevelle build will be as new because it may wind up on my AMT Haulaway trailer with other '69 Chevrolets or other GMs as a "last mile" truck from the marshaling yard to the dealership.

You bet it is. I have a very high resolution scanner but have to fire up the Windows XP box to talk to it. That's always trippy.

Just ordered the full size decal that are being sold on eBay. I'll eventually scan it then modify the part number to suit my needs, then probably have to take the file and decal paper to a printer. The printer here only goes up to 4800x1200. That doesn't sound like enough resolution to something that small but i could be wrong.

That resolution may be just fine. Try modifying some higher resolution images from the interwebz. Drop them into a blank Microsoft Word document, resize and do a test print on plain paper to see how things look. The trick will be how well the image looks on decal paper- some printers do better in this regard than others.

In the real world if someone is thinking about going to a PF-35 from a PF-25 remember the 35 is longer and you'll want to check to be sure it will clear your headers and that it's not so close that it would heat the filter canaster, It can happen especially on a C1500 with the factory Oil Cooler.

But didn't C1500s come off the assembly line with PF-35 filters?

Maybe instead people should refrain from putting headers on muffled street engines because they can't scavenge like headers are intended to do. Therefore, they are a waste of time and money on a muffled street vehicle. It's quite amazing how few people know this but the dyno don't lie.

Mine had the PF-35, but after putting a complete Edelbrock exhaust system on the truck it became an issue. I think the large part of the problem was that the truck was lowered and Edelbrock offed two different systems at that time. Their standard system might not have been a problem, but I went with their setup for a lowered truck that tucked the exhaust cross over from the drivers side that gave me two more inches of ground clearance. I still had to be careful with parking lot speed bumps. As I mentioned I also had the factory Oil Cooler that dropped the mounting point for the filter a good three inches or more. So I think you can see how I created this problem for myself. Not first time I've shot myself in the foot so to speak.

Oftentimes , assembly line parts vary from their 'service replacement' parts . Back in the 90's , it was discovered that Chryslers left the plant with a goldish-green , pebbled-finish oil filtre . The school of thought was the white MoPar filtre , which is what the dealerships had (think : P.D.I. & Service) .

Could it be that G.M. had a similar situation ?

I was working for Ford in the 80s and 90s. In the case of the engines with the oil filter screwed on the side of the block, the filter was painted grey when the block was. I think that some of the other engines had plain white filters with no emblem or other marking.
