looking for an oil filter stud

I have ran into this myself and found the later blocks do not have the same gasket off set as the early blocks.

When I built my resto block I had to get a later Plate

The stud is the same. But there are different styles. One that tightens with a wrench. and one that tightens with a 3/8 ratchet.

I have what you need if you need the early plate. I also have either stud. Check which plate you need. and which stud you want. The wrench stud flows more oil due to a round inside hole rather then a square hole for use of a ratchet. Steve

I can only assume that the plate I took off of the block was the correct one for the block (its a 75 block)
the plate I am trying to install is a canton unit, the aluminum one (part number 22-575)

I can see how the internal hex drive would reduce oil flow, creating a bottle neck compared to the external drive, but at this point I'm willing to try that one, thinking that maybe the oil filter is bottoming out on the taller external hex drive nut

Here's what I have.
