Re: [Amc-list] oops bent 'em again again

As far as I recall there's only about an inch between the top of the oil pump and the upper control arm mount. THAT'S the problem! The full flow won't fit there. The filter length isn't a problem at all. The filter is 90 degrees to the pump and runs alongside the engine. The problem is the new top with filter mount is a bit more than half the diameter of the filter -- won't fit between engine and suspension mount. So a remote mount won't help, those use an adapter to screw onto the filter mount. If you had a full flow filter top you could machine it down to use hoses or use it as a pattern to make a new billet top from 1" aluminum plate, but I don't think there's room even for that. The 50-55 Nash Rambler/58-63 American chassis is narrow up front!
