<p>Dave,</p>
<p>Most of the setups like this I've seen (including mine) have the filter turned slightly clockwise from vertical. This is not a gravity-fed filter system, so orientation of the filter shouldn't matter. (But I also admit that I could be dangerously wrong.) Most of my modern cars have the spin-on filter horizontal. And the Subaru Outback w/ turbo engine has it upside down! (see attached). </p>

<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; color: #000099;">I have a spin-on filter adapter on my '74 TR6. I find that when the filter is vertical, it makes using the bleed screw on the clutch slave difficult to maneuver.</div>

<div class="v1gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large; color: #000099;">If I loosen the adapter plate and rotate the assembly clockwise a bit to rotate the filter away from the clutch slave bleed screw, how far from vertical can the filter be without any issues, anyone know?<br /><br /></div>
