Tecalemit oil filter part number

Post by Billy26F5 »

Hi all,
I've been looking for the Tecalemit part number for the oil filter used January 1956-59 and also the later short type which has a very similar head (I think it actually looks the same) to be able to know what Ebro based their filter on (here's Super Billy's one years ago).

It's the long Tecalemit type. The bolt screws in from the bowl end and there's a sealed nut on top of the head held in place by the head rim to stop it turning.

Hi John,
Unfortunately I already have the Ford part numbers (in parts books, thanks for the link anyway), it's the Tecalemit ones actually stamped on the filter that I'm missing.

Hi Sandy, one of the old major engines in the field has tecalemit filters on it, the oil filter has 290158 stamped on it, and the fuel filter has 2 numbers, FO2174 and FK9307
Hope this helps

Thanks John, Would it be possible to post a pic of the oil filter? Then I can also compare it with the Ebro filters we have here (They're based on the long Tecalemit filter) and see how many changes Ebro made to the design.

Here's some pics of the Ebro filters (based on the Tecalemit filters in use in 1958). Note the subtle differences between the Tecalemit and Ebro parts.

Thanks very much John. It is a short Tecalemit filter, unfortunately I can't see the various part numbers cast and stamped on the head.

It may be the same head, just a different bowl. I'll have a look through my mates collection of major engine spares, see if he has anything

Thanks very much shepp. Isn't the short one the same as the Dexta one (FP3316)? Could someone get accurate measurements of each one? I'm interested to see just how close they are to other filters sold as possible replacements for them. Some pics of these elements would be good too.
I'm also interested in a pic of the head of the short filter to compare with the Ebro filter (including any part numbers stamped on it).

By the way, does anyone happen to have the service letters that list the various changes in the oil filters? I don't mean the August 1959 Power Major supplement to the repair manual (which I already have), which doesn't give part numbers for each filter.

Hi Sandy, found a short tecalemit filter on a super major, the head looks the same as your ebro one. It is almost identical to the long one apart from the raised bit on the front of the casting. The only number i can see is stamped in the same place as on the long one and is 170261
Cheers

Thanks very much John. I think the heads on the genuine Tecalemit filters (long and short) are the same, the Ebro one is slightly different, but very similar (as is the case with all the Ebro parts, only the accurate machining is the same).
