[Tigers] Fw: issues with tapping the oil filter lines

[Sandy Ganz]

I am going to run -10's on the adapter and canton filter and I was feeling bad
that -10's were on the small side ;-). I run -12's on the mustang with remote
filter and cooler, but I think for a short run the -10's should be pretty
good, definitly better then the -8's which just seem small. Check Petersen oil
systems they may also have an external housing like the one at Pegasus.

The
way I was going to do it was similar to the spin on filter, but with a canton
cartridge style. The adapter I have was left over from another project but had
the -10s in it. I think it was from performance engineering or something like
that. It's not at nice as the canton filter adapter but it is very narrow and
looks like will be a better fit the the thicker canton version.

that's a good point.  i
also have those plugged ports on the back of
the adapter but i'll have to
check carefully that it'll clear the
headers.

you think -8 lines are too
skimpy?  well you've just given me a good
excuse to put some nice shiny new
-10 in instead :)
