Thanks for the info guys. tinindian6702, didn't mean to jump on your thread, just hoping to solve an issue as well.

I do have the correct angled bracket on mine, ordered from Ramair resto. For some reason, the bigger filter will fit, but it stays in contact with the LBM'S when fully threaded on. I either have to dent the filter (which I don't want to do) or use a smaller one that clears.

Mike, I did see a thread where a guy took his oil filter bracket off and slotted the mounting holes just enough to get more of a tilt away from the LBM'S and it worked pretty good. You might try that. It's on my to do list for this winter.
