There are two basic offset filter adapters.
The first one is a 92-93 version and is part number 10168445. It uses a 3 inch 5/16-a8 bolt with allen head to clear the body. The second is part number 14092398, and uses a shorter bolt, 1.875, same thread etc. The reason I posted this is I am reverting back to the offset adapter as I realized that the oil filter (PH5, or ac delco pf 1218, using standard oil filter adapter GM has used for many years) was almost right up to the header. I always noticed my oil got hot real quick after a couple quick bursts. I think having the filter right next tho the header may be contributing to it. Here is a picture of the two adapters, showing difference in height. I dont have a picture yet of the filter next to my headers, DRM 1 3/4. But I will soon. UPDATE: Here are a couple shots from a similiar Vette with Large filter and headers. Attach file:  DSCF2485.JPG (725.30 KB) headersfront.JPG (240.35 KB) headerstoy2.JPG (175.77 KB) |

I am just going to see how this works out. I will keep the other adapter. I need to come up with a before and after test to see if it really is a heater like I think it is. And, the do make longer filters for this too. I have seen one and it was about 2-3 inches longer. |

Well, That is considered to be a bad thing over time as it causes premature fatigue of the metal. |

What about a heat wrap on the filter? or remote mount the filter?

Well, I have the parts, so I will give it a try.
There isnt enough room to get more than one thin wrap around the filter. |
