I have been using Puralator L20195 oil filter on my adaptor for
years. However, I do not have an LAT oil pan on my 260 engine. This
filter is smaller in diameter than the FL-1, 1/2+qt vs 1qt so it should work
for you or at least be an alterantive. I think that Puralator # equates to
an FL-300. It's the filter that most Ford Escort or Taurus use.
FL-1 diameter = 3.76"
L20195 diam = 2.95" it is slightly bigger than the rubber seal
Hope that helps

Subject: Oil Filter Adapter
I just purchased a Ford Racing Oil Filter Adapter Item #379-M-6880-A50 from
Jegs for $49.99 ($58.98 Incl Handling).

361 I've tried several ways to get it to fit, but it appears that my LAT Oil
Pan (Aluminum Tiger) has a lip on it that prevents me from screwing the Oil
Filter (FL-1) on the adapter. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else
with the Tiger Oil Pan had the same problem? The Funbeam is a 260, stock,
and stock exhaust manifold.
Thanks for the assistance.
Also, does anyone have an Exxon Type Tiger Tail I might be able to acquire,
or know where I can got one, or more? Mine is getting quite grubby and after
repeated washings it's in need of replacement... Thanks...
All the Best,
