has anyone used a k&n hp-1002? how about some of the amsoil or lets call them "high end" units?

If you really feel like playing around to see what might fit and what not, try going to http://oilfilterdata.com/ . Interesting site with several useful search features.

You need to clean that Vee

I don't know what size works on that system but for the regular remote filter I used I went to the auto parts store with threaded nipple that the filter screwed onto and went thorough the filters until I found a small one that fit and it was a AC Delco PF 53 which also was the filter on my then current street car a Saturn.

Looks like a Caracal D.
VERY nice looking (what I can see in the pic).

My old cooler / filter block is very similar to Schings'.
The filter face is 3" wide with a 3/4"-16 threaded nipple.
I've used both the Fram HP-7 (3.30" long) but prefer the Fram HP-10 (4.89" long - more oil capacity).

thanks glenn,

i think i will try out one of the hp filters. can't see any advantage to the k&n hp-1002 and have always had good luck with hp1's on my last race car.

Great web site. Thdre are several filters that can be used on our vees.. I tend to look at the openings as a gauge guess at flow rates. Some filters have tiny holes that cause pressure drop across the filter. This website will be a great tool going forward. thanks

Are these oil filter adapters still available? I looked at the SR racing web site and could not find this.

Jim @ SR retired a while back, I have a feeling these aren't available anymore - but if you post a wanted ad in the classifieds, they do pop up for sale (used) every now and then.
