Re: Right Angle Oil Filter Adapter Gaskets

I tried to get the kit from Mancini, but them & EVERYBODY else were out of stock for some strange reason. My local dealer could find the part number, but their computer said it wouldn't be available until December 21st of this year.

I'm going to keep digging until I find the Fel Pro gasket set part number as I think that would probably be about $9 or $10 tops.

Here's another related question... Does anybody know what the torque spec is for the filter adapter to the block? Been having difficulty finding that as well.

Thanks!

I did not know about the Mancini kit that’s a decent bargain.

Yes...I'm talking about a gasket set.. So I did search the Fel-Pro site but couldn't find it. Super tough to search by application though.

The Fel-Pro gasket I bought off eBay was ~$18...so not horrible $, but I'm sure if I find the FP#, it'll be even cheaper.

Bill, do you mean a gasket set? The big base gasket is the same as any oil filter base gasket on a small block. I have the number around here somewhere. The other seals, for under the head of the hollow bolt and for between the adapter and the boss where the hollow bolt is threaded into the block, can be found in a certain package of metric seals. Theres an eBay seller that has packaged these three pieces and sell them as a kit for 39.95. The cost to buy the stuff myself was about $11. I think I preserved the brand and number of that package of seals too I just need to look. Bought the package at oReillys and they can order the base gasket too but I bought some off rock auto.

Also, there is an industrial specialty drilled bolt that substitutes for the original, and this can be found on eBay, and also another eBayer has had a repro manufactured. He claims the substitute isn’t as strong as the original and his is. I have one of each (only $5 difference in price) and the repro is really nice but the other one, while doesn’t look quite the same, does work fine, one of those is on a 360 I put into a ‘64 Dart for a guy last year.
