I had the same question and add another.  When I bought by spin on
adapter years ago, it came with a warning that it would not work on
certain blocks as depicted in a drawing that came with the adapter.
That drawing looks like every block I have so I was reluctant to install
the adapter.  Any one else have this issue or see this warning?

Out of curiosity, how would you improperly install the spin-on adapter?
I know some people (including myself) have installed it at a slight
angle to avoid the oil filter hitting the clutch slave.  Would turning
it too much be the problem?
