[Spridgets] 1970 Midget - 1275cc - K & N oil filter question

[David Riker]

I installed one on an engine out of the car, installed said engine with no 
clearance problems... until it was time for an oil change.  There wasn't 
enough clearance between the filter housing and the frame rail to completely 
unscrew the filter.  There are more than one style of oil filter adapters, 
it might work on some applications.  Measure the distance between the bottom 
of the threaded adapter and the frame rail before purchase. YMMV.
