Re: [Chrysler300] '61 Torqueflites

[Mike <moparmike@xxxx>]

John,
1962 was the first year for the aluminum case torquflite, everything 
previous to then was the cast iron variety.
I don't remember if the filters are different, they probably are.
383/400 gaskets fit just fine, except the valve covers-later ones have two 
more bolt holes in the corners.
All Chrysler products V-8 spin on oil filters fit the same and are 
virtually interchangable.
