TTI oil block off plate - PN 0200-FBP
Because the factory A Body "K" frame fouls on the factory 3G Hemi oil filter , you have to consider which way you want to tackle the problem.
You can use a Dodge Dakota truck angled filter adapter - but that requires running a very short filter - and still requires some notching of both the adapter and / or the K frame.
As I run a remote oil filter system anyway..I've chosen to use the TTI filter boss block off plate.
The 3G Hemi has remote auxilliory oiling ports directly above the filter boss....making it easy to tap remote oil hoses directly into the block.
This pic shows the oil filter boss..and the original threaded oil filter screw fitting. You'll need a 12mm allen key to remove this.
This pic shows the TTI block off plate partially attached - its a perfect fit and uses O rings to seal to the boss.
The TTI engine mount adapter requires a small amount of trimming to clear the plate - not sure how TTI could have missed this pretty basic issue.....:(
So there you have it!
Two option to run the oil filter system and either will work with very little drama
