90 degree filter adapter

[68 Coronet RT]

If you have the clearance is it better to run a oil filter without the 90 degree adapter ? Will a shorty filter without a 90 degree adapter fit with stock exhaust manifolds and 2 1/2 inch TTI pipes.

Engine chassis combination? My guess is to see if that combo came stock with
or without a 90 degree adapter. I would avoid using one if possible.

Agree^^^^^^^

More restrictions, more gaskets and more places to leak..what do you think?

90's suck with the short filters available today. They were made to accomodate the 273 in the narrow A chassis and the exhaust routing. Not knocking them but they do introduce 2 more gaskets and a 90 degree L into the mix. If you need it, you will know.

i'm running 340 manifolds with TTI head pipes and i needed to run the 90* adapter in a 70 dart.. its tight in there... nothing wrong with the adapter. i've never had any leak issues. chrysler engineered that adapter to work with a 340 so i don't see any issues running one..

i'd have to look to remember but i'm pretty sure i have a napa gold 1068 on the car.

I have the 90* assembly on my 69 340 Cuda,,,,,,, no problems. When changing oil, I remove filter from on top. Just wipe the "T" bars when done.

Napa Gold is the 1068, you can also use Wix 51085 or Napa gold 1085 which is a little shorter or go to Wal-Mart and get the Mopar MO-090 for 6 bucks. I like the MO-090 as it has 8 holes on top compared to 6 for the Wix and Napa even though Wix makes Napa and Mopar filters

number of holes makes no difference
cut apart does

Oh man I hear you on the phone, just have to love the auto correct. You have to proof read everything before you send. I stopped at a Dodge dealership to buy a MO-090 filter and they wanted 11.00 bucks I said no thanks, went to Wal-Mart and bought the same MO-090 filter for $6.00. That's even cheaper than I found it on line. Some guys are using the Mopar FE00292 filter which I found on line for less than 3 bucks. Just might order a few.
