I have a 73 Swinger with a 360/727 and TTI headers. I'm having a difficult time getting the oil filter off, VERY hard to turn. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Has anyone else used the 90* adapter?
I know I could use one. It's a real pain to get the oil filter on and off.When I would tighten the collector to my TTI H-pipe it would pull the header up slightly and bind the oil filter in and prevent it from turning. I had to loosen my header and collector bolts to get the filter on and off. After that I went with a 90 degree adapter. You'll have plenty of people on here who will tell you you don't need a 90 degree adapter with TTI headers but I needed one.

I would like to see a pic of these engines without 90 adapter, and tti`s. please... And Whitey, That wrench you bent is still the best in tight places, but they need modifyed. I used a piece of 3/8 by 3/4" flat stock. To put a real handel on it. My pic resizer function dissapeared, or I`d show it.I know I could use one. It's a real pain to get the oil filter on and off.
i don't run the 90* adapter and never had a problem with getting the filter off with my tti's. i can get the filter wrench on it from the top.
i use a wrench like this one.
I was running the short filter and it would not come off unless I loosened the header.
