Tym,
I bought a transdapt spin on filter that I used to adapt to my situation. It
was $ 65 Canadian and had outlets on both sides I spun the unit on until
tight and then filed it until I could get it oriented in the right direction
by spinning it on further and further. I ground clearance into the top of
the adaptor until it cleared my headers. As now pipe plugs would not work I
then took it to a local welding shop for $30 Can and had one side welded up.
Or you can Buy a unit from Dale A. for $150 USD.
Regards,
Tim

Subject: Oil Filter/Headers
Tigers,
I'm using CAT headers on my 302.
I'm using a remote oil filter. My problem is I'm using an
old right
angle adapter from a Ford Econoline. I have a leak where
the old
adapter goes to the block and can't seem to fix it. There
must be a
better way. And I know that the guys using CAT headers
aren't all using
the Econoline adapter.
What kind of set up are the guys who are using CAT headers
with a
full-sized oil filter using to mount on the block?
This thing is driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Tym McDowell
