>what position do you mount a spin on filter adapter in? Does the
bottom of the filter point up down or etc.

Jason, I mounted mine with the bottom of the filter pointing mostly down so
that it won't drain when the engine is stopped. I found that oil pressure
builds up much more quickly with this configuration than with the original
filter (which does drain). Whether or not the spin-on filters drain in an
inverted position I can not tell you but they are supposed to have an
ainti-drain provision. I've never tried it. But the position I've
selected will ease removal and installation with less mess, I guess.
I say in the "mostly down" position because I had to swing it forward about
5 degrees to clear the clutch slave cylinder. Hint: when installing,
before you snug up the main bolt, spin on a filter and make sure it doesn't
interfere with anything like the slave cylinder or fuel pump.
