David Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I have some NOS Mack filters. They are part number 236GB123A. 6" dia, 7 1/2" long with a 1 5/8" hole. Call me if they are something you can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twostickmutt Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 hi sully. if those filters won't work i just got my spin on kit from carquest. it looks like it will work fine and i'll always have a filter source. it's a kit that replaces earlier luber-finder. plan to install it this weekend. i'll send you part numbers later. j.j.

twostickmutt Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 hi sully. didn't get a chance to put on my oil filter conversion but here are CARQUEST'S numbers. the filter housing is no. 89750. the filter is 85749.(both carquest) .on my 707A the old filter housing is on the drivers side and is held on by( 3 )1/2 inch bolts. once you take the old housing off there is a feed port and a return port in the block. both of these are tapped for fittings. your 707 is probably a B or a C being newer. it may be the same as my A. let me know how you make out. good luck. j.j.

If I don't end us using the spin-on kit, I'll give you a call.Sully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
