[Healeys] spin-on oil filter question

[BJ8 Healeys]

Richard, I have an adapter that holds the filter in the same orientation as
the original filter canister.  Photo attached.  I bought this one from Moss
Motors in 1987.  Don't know whether this is the same as the one you are
asking about, or what info you need about it.

Subject: [Healeys] spin-on oil filter question

About 8 years ago I bought a 6 cylinder spin-on oil filter adapter that
mounted onto the original oil filter housing - at the point where the old
canister style filter was originally fitted.  It uses a KN oil filter part #
HP 2009. I don't recall from who or where I bought it or for how much. I
think I bought it because the other style adaptor had the oil filter coming
within a few millimeters from the starter motor electrical connections.  I
didn't think that was very prudent idea.  I now have a smaller gear
reduction starter that gives me more clearance and I want to sell this
adapter and go with a straight off the block adapter.  Can anyone out there
give me any info about the adapter I have that attaches to the original
housing?

 This is for a street Healey car - not my race car.

Thanks, Richard Mayor
