"Would this be correct for Canadian sold cars also?"

Yes and no.

Yes - this would have been the filter that a GM dealership would have used on your car in the early 70's when you did an oil change. I am sure this would be acceptable if the car was being judged as it is a direct GM replacement for the OE filter.

No - it would not have been the correct assembly line filter. Good luck getting one of those.


SYC members.....if this is not correct please chime in as I always like to learn more.

A/C oil filters made in Canada during that period were sold in Canada and in the US so the country of manufacture did non dictate where it was consumed. Legislation requiring bilingual labelling (French & English) didn't come into effect in Canada until 1974. The Canada-US Auto Pact (1964) in effect at that time allowed for the duty free movement of North American manufactured auto parts and vehicles between the US and Canada. For judging, at least Camaro Legends, the oil filter is no longer a judged item (embossed bottom PF filters no longer receive bonus points) so it's not important.
