Re: Oil Changing Woes

Your old gasket is still in there. It is old & brittle so it feels like something solid. Take out the 2 bolts that hold the adapter on & the old gasket will be easy to remove. There might even be 2 of them. After replaceing the adapter the new gasket should go in the groove & stay. Make sure they gave you the right filter. You may have one for a bypass filter like used on the 6 cyl. models & 55 V-8's. A spin on filter will be the best way to go unless you want complete originality.
