Re: [FWDLK] Need adapter for spin-on filter for 56 Ply/Dodge 270, ideas?

John,

The FRAM K21 adapter kit will fit the 277/301/303/318/326 A series engines.
Conversion parts are also available through Chrysler. These engines started
in 56 Plymouths. Early 56 Plymouth V8s were from the Dodge series, before
transitioning to the A series engine.

All DodgeV8s in 1956 (except Canadian Dodge with Plymouth engines) were the
270/315 Hemi/Poly Dodge engines. This series also includes the 241 Hemi and
325 Hemi/Poly from 1953 to early 1958. The FRAM kit will not fit this
series.

Gary - A Fram K21 oil filter adapter kit might do the job.  The application
sheet says this will fit the 56-57 Plymouth V-8 after engine #P29-8000.
According to this you have to check your engine #.  The heading on the
instruction sheet states "K21 KIT -    For converting bolt-on type full-flow
oil filter using Chrysler 2129023 cartridge or Fram CH236APL to Fram PH8A or
PH43 spin-on oil filter".  I put one on my 59 Plymouth with 318 engine -
works fine.  I got mine from Checker Auto $11.95, but any auto parts store
should be able to order it or have it in stock.   John Z in Mosinee, WI
