There is an excellent study on oil filters. See
www.frankhunt.com/FRANK/corvette/articles/oilfilterstudy/oilfilterstudy.html
. I use Fram TG 3600 (Tough Guard). There are others out there that are
good, but plenty that are worse. I don't know about helping engine temps,
but the Tough Guard keeps oil in the filter at startup and my oil pressure
comes up quickly.
I installed my spin-on adapter so that filter faces down and slightly
forward (in order to clear clutch slave cylinder. One more tip. Save the O
ring from the old canister. It is a perfect replacement for the gasket
between the mirror and the enclosure on the outside bullit door mirror.

List,
Just purchased the spin-on adapter for my 74 TR6 (yes - the winter order was
placed today with TRF).
I heard someone say at the TRials a specific FRAM filter spin-on to use
(apparently his experience showed this had the best flow - possibly helping
engine temp?). Does anyone know this part number?
Thanks much.
