I may have missed part of this discussion, but one thing good about the plastic filters is, they're usually clear, so you can see how good or bad they are. The metal ones are more historically "correct," but you don't know if they're clogged unless you cut one open.

Elijah, We have Checker Auto here which is part of the same company. On their website, the Purolator F20011 looks correct, but I bought one last week over at Pep Boys & it is a cheaper looking piece of plastic then the Fram is.

I recently bought a correct metal fuel filter for my
'70 Imperial at Advance Auto Parts. They're a
national chain. If you can't find one locally, you
can order from their website at
Purolator F20011 ($2.07) appears to be the filter
listed for 1960 and up Imperials. They have other
options for pre-1960 Imperials.
