Indeed it is I, Sam Clark, that posted the question. I am not running an
oil cooler, but the filter that I have been trying to fit is an inch longer
than what you describe. That should fit. I will now get on the phone and
see if anyone here in the Tulsa areas carry one of those filters. You may
have just saved me a lot of work. I was getting ready to pull the adapter
off and go back with the canister.
BTW only the last picture came through but I get the idea.
Thank you to all that responded to my post. This list is great!

At the beginning of the week someone (Sam?) asked about spin on oil
filters for use w/ GT6. I finally got around to looking at what I use &
take a .jpg but by now I have lost the original poster's question.
I run a 2.5L in my Spit bodied GT6 and sourced a used oil filter adapter
from someone on this list years ago. I don't know the brand but it uses
BS (British Standard) threads for the oil cooler hose fittings (a pita to
get hoses made up in the US w/ the correct fitting). I use a tiny oil
filter that uses the standard 3/4 inch threads. I use STP P/N S3512 oil
filter that I buy at Autozone (in the US), an inexpensive US made filter,
no idea who makes it. This filter interchanges w/ Wix 51056 & Fram
PH3512. Somewhere I also have a Renault oil filter P/N (I am guessing the
original application was for a LeCar or similar vehicle). THe canister is
3 inches in diameter and 2.75 tall from the seal to the crown of the
canister. FWIW, I use the STP brand of oil filters for both the GT76 & my
Isuzu Amigo with no issues but STP brand oil filters is a poor choice for
my older F150 (lots of engine rattling on start up - assume a drain back
valve spec is wrong for the correct P/N for the Ford engine).
For some .jpgs
