I might as well remove this one and clean the undercoating off it so we can see what it actually is. I also think I will cut it open and see what the paper looks like after being in oil for 39 years.

NO! NO! NO! (you goofball)

Let me check with the owner of the one I spoke of and see if he minds if I post a couple of pictures of his.

Jack, I believe it is a LA built car like mine, so it should have the VIN stamp on the pad next to the assembly date.

Don just sent me these with this explanation..

Rick, this filter was removed from a 1970 L-78 Camaro that showed 500 miles on the odometer.I personally took it off the engine in 1988.A friend of mine had bought the car which had been converted to a race car.The L-78 had been removed when new and replaced with a L-88.I replaced all the race parts with the stock original parts which had all been saved.The oil filter was removed as we had the engine disassembled cleaned and re-assembled.The oil filter was stuck so tight that the only way I could get it off was with a punch through the body and a hammer.This was prior to the time when replacing an oil filter was not a big deal.If I only knew then.......................

Take note of the embossed wording on the bottom of the filter.Air filters weren't the only ones with this verbiage.
Don

Was a nice 61 degrees outside today so I had the Z out, started it....Squirted a bunch of Marvel Mystery Oil down the carb while at a high idle. Basically oiling everything up. Even the exhaust. Also dropped the oil filter.
