Ok, I got ahold of FRAM tech support. The obsolete filter recommended by Flotec, the manufacturer of the Spin On adapter, was a PH9A. Fram recommends a PH16 to replace a PH9A. However, the diameter of the PH16 is too large at 3.66" as opposed to 2.98" of the PH3600, which "fits" the adapter well and just clears the engine/frame. So we went back to the PH3600 as a starting point as recommended on the VTR site (but is too tall, hits the clutch hydraulic line). After much discussion, they recommended a Fram PH3614. There is a catalog with specifications, and it shows the same specs as the PH3600, only it is 3.34" tall instead of 4.92" tall. That should clear ok. I asked about the capacity. Wouldn't that be a factor, could we find something a little taller? The tech said that is a common misconception, that height matters <g>. this PH3614 filter is used on a variety of cars and tractors, including 6 cylinders. He suggested if I am wanting to really go all out don't focus on height, but get a better filter, get the TG3614, which is $6.99 at Autozone. So I have a plan that doesn't involve rerouting the clutch hydraulics I believe! Off to Autozone.
