<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">I too changed to a spin on filter, but mine came from AH spares, and I think I have a different WIX number.
<div class="">When I had the original system, I found it much easier to take the whole assembly off the side of the block, change the filter on the bench, and then reinstall with a new gasket. I remember Rich Chrysler saying he did it that way too. A lot less
mess.</div>

the replacement cartridges. This adapter holds the spin-on filter parallel to the centerline of the car, with the aft end of the filter lower than the front. Changing oil is easy and causes no mess. I don’t know if this type of adapter is still available,
but the one I have is the only one I’ve ever seen. All the others hold the filter perpendicular and level to the block and seem to be sized for a smaller filter than what I use.<br class="">
I have several Wix 51085 filters, and all except one (China) are marked “Made in USA”. I remember back in the ‘60s that I used to pass the Wix plant in Gastonia, NC about once a week.
