COOLER LOCATION
When selecting the best location for your vehicle, always consider
a location that will deliver the maximum airflow.
IMPORTANT
In most cases the Factory Oil Filter will work with the supplied sandwich adapter. In some applications where the frame or
exhaust system interferes with the new filter depth we recommend using a shorter filter length.
See chart below for possible filter options.
This kit is designed to fit GM vehicles Manufactured
between 1963-2007 with engine block oil filter landings
