This is the "B-Style" or "1-hole" filter for use in the late B-Style Housing. 

This housing can be identified by the bolt placement on the top cover. 

The B-Style housing has a bat-wing shaped top with 2 side tabs that contain 2 bolts, and 1 tab that contains a single bolt. 

Inspect your Fuel Filter Housing and compare with the image above. 

If you have a star shaped design with a tab for each bolt, you have the A-Style design (see related products below).
