Early Fram fuel filters

[Hemicolt]

I saw that Dave has a Holley pump and Fram filter for sale. He made a point about the early filter having some feature differences compaired to the modern ones. I have a couple of the old ones, but have not had the chance to do a side by side comparison with a new one.
What are the diferences? Also, are the letter sizes on the decal "HPG-1" bigger, smaller or the same?
And on the early fuel pumps, anyone had a problem running modern fuels through them?

Thanks

Here is one of the differences. The early bottom bolt holding the filter housing on is concave/recessed in the middle while the new one has a flat face.

Early brackets were chrome plated very nicely well done -new ones sort of have a wrinkle chrome on them.It's not defective or shoddy but that is how they do them now for some purpose-kinda like hammertone but chrome.

There are also some minor differences in the cast housings.

Thanks for the info.
So there are no differences in the decal?

The decals are the same.
