TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR OIL FILTER! Is that a stock housing modified to take a spin-on filter?
are you talking about the one in post #85? OM616 is responsible for that one.
Its pretty nice, I think he has a thread on that somewhere on PP
Im going a different route, a pretty standard remote oil filter plate. I had a bunch of these JIC fittings left over from a job, so I ground a pair of them down to make a weldable fitting-
plate fitting on the motor- (just capping over the drain back hole on the bottom as more trouble than its worth)
and bungs welded to the plate- some fitting left to do with a dremel to make sure I have a nice flowing hole-
This will go to a moroso head that will be locate approximately where the astro stock fuel filter or automatic transmission shift brace is
