Re: moving oil filter..Don D. where are you !

[HoustonDB@xxxxxxx]

I'd say do whatever you feel you need to do.  I had the same issues  with a 
390 Ford and installed a remote adapter to reduce the  mess.    As was said, 
make sure the routing of the lines is  correct.  The adapters I had were each 
marked "in" and "out" for the  ports.  Without putting much thought into it, I 
connected the two "out"  ports together, and the two "in" ports together.  It 
actually ran like  that for a while too.  It built oil pressure but always 
leaked at the oil  filter.  Obviously you want the "out" port on the engine 
adapter connected  to the "in" port on the oil filter adapter, and so on.  Also, 
make sure the  hose is pressure rated.  A discount auto store slipped me some 
cheap heater  hose one time, and one of the lines blew on the first drive after 
installing  it.
