So, after years of it sitting I'm getting back to putting my spare LT1 back together.
I went to O'Reilly's to get a Wix oil filter. It was too large. Cross checked it with another brand. It was also too large.
Any tips guys? I don't remember this ever being an issue. I don't remember the Wix oil filter part number.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I forgot to add it was out of a 95 Corvette.

My 92 Corvette came with a Champ PH51A. It will be changed soon.

Have been running WIX 51060 w/o problem (51069 has same base but is shorter, IIRC).

Have you looked at a wix 51036? That's what my b- body LT-1 had. Wix 51040 is a shorter version of the 51036.

Good catch, Jason. The 51036 is the recommended filter b/c of the metric threads. Although the 51060 has given me zero problems or leaks over several years, I'll be making the switch on the next oil change.
