Also, you could leave the filter canister you already have on the firewall but, install a rubber pad under it to absorb vibration. Those OEM filters do work well.


Another idea is to modify the Fram filter by adding a 3 hole base from an old Ford OEM canister. It would be easy to do if you have access to a welder.
Thanks for the info.......3 hole base???? I was thinking about see "IF" i could change the 90* elbow on the bottom to something more "friendly" and easier to find.....BUT I maybe look at the "coiling" of a "hard" line OR maybe trying to see since the "original" line/Look is not an option them maybe something out of a SS braided line.
