In the past, I have used a Mocal sandwich type adapter on the metric oil pump (Buick V6) to allow the use of a remote oil filter. The big advantage of the sandwich type is that you can rotate it to

I believe this is the old Allison unit in a new box. If so, it seems to be held in lower esteem than the MSD. I have run a MSD 6A for about 10 years in my V8 roadster, very happy with it. Available a
