[Tigers] Thunderbird 302s / 90 degree adapter

[Teepen, Jere]

A filter commonly referenced for the Renault was the Fram PH3512, which is now
very difficult to find. NAPA has an equivalent NAPA branded 1056, which is a
bit smaller in diameter but also a bit longer than the PH3512, that works and
fits well.

The CAT headers (I have been told...) were initially designed to work with a
remote filter set up but have evolved over the years to accommodate a short
block filter.

Tony,

Most everyone with CAT headers has read the CAT tech tip about the Renault oil
filter that doesn't need a 90 degree adapter. The current headers definitely
clear it.

I do still run the 90 degree adapter with the old JC Whitney headers that
Thunderbird Products made decades ago.
