90 deg oil filter adapter

I'm new to this forum and currently have a 360 in a 74 duster on my maiden voyage home with her I took it up to 115mph on the interstate, when I pulled off onto my exit and stopped at the light I smelled oil and then saw mountains of embarrasing smoke rolling out from under the hood,I didn't know what to think but limped home as it was only a short distance,I popped the hood open and it was coated with oil mainly on the passenger side, I fired it up and could see a thin stream of oil running down the oil filter adapter,I've searched the forums and have resealed the adapter per the threads I have read and viola it still leaks what I would like to to is just put a short filter directly onto the block and to my understanding all I need to do is is remove the threaded fitting that is on the 90 deg adapter where the oil filter threads on and install into the block then spin my filter directly to the block?Is this all thats involved or am I misguided,I have what I believe are stock exhaust manifolds

thanks, chris
