Hey, I have the same one Jim has! And I hate it, even on my 'bird without LBM's and A/C. The sweet spot of the pivot falls right into the front suspension. I end up having to tilt the wrench at a severe angle and cross my fingers that it can catch just enough of the bottom of the filter to loosen it. From past experience, I never try to put the new filters on too tight. It just makes them that much harder to get off.
I need to tackle my coupe oil with LBMs in the next couple of weeks. Can't wait! (not)
A friend has a wrench with a 90 degree handle. Looking at it seems like it would solve the clearance issues, but I'm not sure how you could get any torque on it with that shape. He says it works well though. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture.
Maybe I'll look on Epay if I have time.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!
