Newb Oil Filter Question
I’m currently removing my TTI headers and going with Sanderson DD9’s. This will allow me to run the filter straight to the block.
I did buy a Mopar Performance Aluminum 90 adapter, flat sanded for better sealing but will not install it now.
I’m not removing the headers strictly for the oil filter issue…on these early A-body cars there is simply no room for anything with full length headers.
I did not think that Mopar Performace made the correct angled one for early A Body.
I have a few stock iron ones here early A.
The Later A ( and F,M,J,E,B etc) bodies use same angle as the over counter aluminium ones.
They are not the same angle.
Only reason I changed to aluminium was I wanted to shine it up to have more bling since I have other polished stuff. And was also easier to blend the port.
I have never seen a cast iron one leak with new gaskets installed right.
Did see one guy said was warped aluminium and many guys did not put gaskets on right leak.
Not to say they never made bad ones this is what Ma Mopar the crappy Direct Connection and Mopar Performance parts seller.
God knows in late 70s, 80s and early 90s they sold crap and said race parts as is.
