That is the unit I used on my Lehmans. What an improvement! Lots of choices for spin-on filters. Massey-Fergoson also has a part number for the same. Easy install.This might be them. I don't remember spending that much.

There used to be an aftermarket filter that was a spin on. But I think they have gone out of business. Talk to Brian at American Diesel. He has a better filter than the Napa one. I had air leak problems and Brian told me not to use Napa. He sent me some and the air leaks went away. Just remember that these don’t have a O ring but rather a square gasket. So get it in flat and also there is a small gasket that can stick inside the top when you remove the filter. So check that you get all of them out or it will leak air.
Got rid of the OEM filter nightmares
Used one of these little Racors...worked great for 15000 miles/2700 hours.Sold boat but probably still great. I used the 2 micron version.
I did the same spin-on conversions. The kits were only like $20 per filter.
