<VV> Oil filter

[Harry Yarnell]

Do you still have/use the sending unit?  If not, get the correct bolt from a 
listmember or one of the vendors. It's a 'special' bolt; won't find it at 
Home Depot.
You don't have the 90° adapter, do you (filter sits horizontal)? That has 
two different mounting bolts.
