    'Long' vs 'Short' oil filters

    Re: \'Long\' vs \'Short\' oil filters Wild Dude - The latest on the oil filter study can be found here - http://www.minimopar.net/oilfilters.html It does back up the Fram quality issues, especially the email from the Allied Signal engineer that worked on the Fram production line. However...

    'Long' vs 'Short' oil filters

    Re: \'Long\' vs \'Short\' oil filters tzoid - If the filter were more expensive or there was something significantly different in the design of a long vs short filter which didn't make the long filter as efficient, then I'd agree with you. However, in the case of the Mobil 1, there's no...

    'Long' vs 'Short' oil filters

    Re: \'Long\' vs \'Short\' oil filters Chuck - Thanks for that. Since mine is a Gen I, not a problem. And I assume you've had no problems with clearance as the engine torques around within the motor mounts. Of course, it then begs the question, will the old right angle filter adapter allow Gen...

    'Long' vs 'Short' oil filters

    \'Long\' vs \'Short\' oil filters Recently, I decided to take my '70 340 Duster out of mothballs. While working under the car, I noticed the right angle oil filter adapter and the long (Purolator PER 1A) filter I last mounted. It got me to thinking, could I mount a 'long' oil filter (say a...

    Sport Cap Pad installation

    There are supposedly two clips that go on each side of the sport cap pad with the close out moulding in place to give it a finished look. The factory used double sided tape to help secure these clips in place (probably anti-rattle as well) but again, probably not necessary to the function. -Bob-

    Sport Cap Pad installation

    Thanks. I saw JonB's reply in another note - maybe he'll take pity on me and let me know about the studs and close out moulding (though Bob Woodhouse is researching it for me as well). The top was one of the free ones from Chrysler for having attended the Monterey invitational. Hard to beat the...

    Sport Cap Pad installation

    Allen - After discussing this with Bob Woodhouse (who just called me to discuss the problem personally - thanks Bob!) you probably don't need the moulding to mount the soft top. You may not even need the pad (but the aesthetics of not having the pad with the top off is questionable). You will...

    Sport Cap Pad installation

    Thanks Steve. I think there are at least four bolts - based on the holes in the pad. Two to hold the pad onto the sport cap and two that the soft top attaches to. But I can't tell if these four are the same or not. Can someone send me a digital photo of the underside of their sport cap pad...

    Sport Cap Pad installation

    HELP! Five years ago my former dealer installed the factory hardtop on my 94 RT/10. At the time he returned the sport cap pad to me and I put it away. Returning to the US after a four year stint in England and new twin boys I finally decided to take the hardtop off so I could run topless for...
