Hi,
        I am attempting to chang the oil in my 72 MGB, I have four quarts
of oil (covered with sawdust) on my concrete driveway, I can't get the
inverted filter to seal, or did I  break the mount getting the old filter
off.  I first tryde a Phram PF8A Ford filder, thread and seal seamed to
match, but it leaked.  Now I have a NAPA Gold Wix 1068.  The first time I
tried to install it the seal apparently fell out of the groove before it
contacted.  I have tried it several times since.  It still is leaking
profusley.  Have I busted something, or is it a trick to put the filter
on?  Do I need to chase the thread on the car mount?  Or do I need to use
a torque wrench?  The surface on the seal plate does not look very good. 
Should I change out the seal on the filter with and O-Ring?  Anybody
tried that?  If it that seal that is not working, I think the O-Ring idea
might be good.
