Do those same gaskets and filters fit the 2 sediment bowls for the 2 bbl Carter on the '56 Deluxe?

Randerson, the ceramic element, the gaskets and screen that I found at Tractor Supply Company all fit my fuel filter perfectly. I imagine you and I have the same filter.

I'm looking for part # for oil filter in my power sterring
fluid. 1953 Patrician.3 3/8 wide X 2 " high with 1" hole in center. Also my dash board needs repainted
and I was wondering how they duplicate the hammer mill
type finish if that is possible. I have found good information on this web and thank all.

I think the dash is going to be somewhat difficult by hand unless you can find a real artist. Believe it was originally a printed process where the flat steel was patterned and then stamped to shape.

There is a company in Winter Haven, Fla --- Grain-It Technologieshttp://www.woodgraining.com/ which has a process using plates and rollers --either DIY or will do it for you-- which might be able to help -- if they have a pattern plate. At one time I believe they had something very similar but hadn't checked their site in quite a while and didn't see it today.

The basic DIY kit is not cheap but without some real talent at the end of a brush, if they have a plate then maybe the best option. Might be worth a phone call or if close enough even a trip to see what they say.

On the filter, unless someone comes along that has been there already and found a number, if there is a Napa nearby you might take your old one in. They have 38 P/S filters shown in their catalog and several look like very good possibilities--if the clerk will take the time to look thru a catalog. A couple I looked at are off by a slight bit in one dimension or the other but since there is a fair amount of room in can, just something with the correct center might work. Here are just a few off first page.
