90* oil filter adapter

[jaak]

My oil filter adapter had a small leak, so I decided to replace the gaskets. Now it has a huge leak....I have tried to tighten the center bolt, reposition adapter, still no luck. is there a trick to it? I used MP gaskets (all 3).

Can I use a normal plate (from a 318) instead of the 90* adapter on a 360 with hooker super comp headers? If I can Im about ready to ditch this adapter.

Thanks,
Jason

   if the headers are like headmans then you can do with out the 90 degree adapter but youll need a shorter filter i believe ive used a motorcraft fl300 on our 318 with headmans

The 90* adapters are also known for cracking....check that also

Ditched it today, and used a normal  oil filter base from a 318 I had in the shop. Had plenty of room with the hooker headers.
