Header/Oil Filter Issues.....

Hi All,

I have some headers on my 318 in my 69 Barracuda that I bought from a guy that used to drag race Mopar's (Friend of a neighbor), so I'm not sure about who made them. Could be Hedman. Anyway, I use a short oil filter Fram PH-43 or the Purolator equivalent 1058 - I think. The shorter oil filter works OK - but it is tight. I have to put the oil filter down beside the engine from the top, rest it on the headers, and then go under the car to screw on the filter and tighten it up. It works for now until I can get a remote oil filter kit and install it. Also, the torsion bar is also in the way, so I've got to almost be an acrobat/cortorsionist to change it, but I have gotten it down so it doesn't take all that long.
