I still appreciate your input on my project RT and now know the back stories involved ! Beautiful cars , and very quick and functional ! Hope to get close soon ! Again, thanks for the input, and cars are gorgeous !!
Thanks for the positive response. I really like the look myself. Had the same scoop on my race car, (Charger) , in the 70's. That one was sealed to the hood , but we'll see where this one goes. Racing "Super Stock " on weekends was long ago! LOL!!!

First off thankyou to everyone for your responses and advice. One of the first posts mentioned a Fram #PH3600. I'm not a big fan of Fram, but having Wal-Mart close by it seemed like a safe gamble for $4.00. Fit fine and now I have a good place to start. I also liked the later post about a...
The filter boss is still OE and perpendicular to the block. Truth be known though the filter won't clear the header tubes to get anywhere near it. If it would there'd be plenty of room to attach it.
I recently got the 360 off my engine stand and installed in my 79 Aspen RT. The instructions supplied with the new headers say to remove the oil filter for installation clearance. Seemed simple enough until tried to install one. The Mopar Oil Filter at 3 1/2 " diameter won't fit between the...
