Default oil filter clearance
I picked up a used set of headers for my 400 in a 69 and after installing them I no longer have clearance for my oil filter (which I had removed before installing) the oil filter is WIX - 51258.
Is this because these headers are not for the 69 Firebird or is there a shorter oil filter I need to use?

Would the angled filter adapter help to tilt the filter back? I run a Bosch 3423 with long branch manifolds that might help you also.

I have several extra mounts that I bought because I was having trouble making mine "fit". I will see what I have and let you know.

You probably need the angled filter mount.

Never knew there was an angled mount..... Sounds like what I need then. Should be a simple enough fix.
