Hello,
Since I had the side cover off to replace some burnt valves I decided it would be a good time to install an oil filter kit on my Model A. I wanted one that would filter all the oil and decided on the A-6705-F Oil Filter kit from Snyder's...but I ran into one problem....

Here is the problem...when installing the curved oil connection tube it says it will be hard, but just work it into the main oil supply pipe. From what I see it is impossible to work into that pipe without cutting off about a half an inch of the oil connection tube first. It is just too long to fit into the space between the engine block and the first oil dam. I was just wondering if anyone else had run into this problem before I started cutting.

Thank you....
