68 Oil Filter , PF-25 or PF29 ?

Just received final word

Below is the reply I just received from Chuck on this issue.
Now I must find a PF-29
Kurt,
The correct filter is the PF29. Until the manual is revised we will accept either the PF25 or the PF29.

Kurt, if you are not going to show in FL there is a slim possibility that the PF-29 might be out by the next Regional

Thanks all. Picked up a PF-29 tonight *NM*

Re: 68 Oil Filter , PF-25 or PF29 ?

As further evidence that the PF-29 is correct for the the 1968 Corvette, I have an AC Filter Catalog dated January, 1969 that specifies both the PF-29 and PF-25 for the 1968 model while specifying only the PF-25 for the 1969 model. This suggests the PF-29 was original equipment on the 1968 model and was superceded by the PF-25 in 1969 when the PF-25 became original equipment on the 1969 model. As Joe points out, early 1969's may have used PF-29's but no documentation has surfaced to my knowledge.

Also, in the last few days I saw a close-up picture of a PF-25 and stasmped on the side of the PF-25 is said that ut reolaces or supercedes or something like that the PF-11 and PF-29 so clearly the PF-25 came AFTER the other two.
