90 degree Oil Filter Adapter

[260Alpine]

A few questions. Is it cast iron or aluminum? Thread size for block side and oil filter side. I'm hoping it is 18 x 1.5mm or 3/4" x 16.

Joel, Thanks. I was thinking of the cheaper used V6 ones, not the new Ford Racing one. Maybe Dan R has one on the bench. It would be for a Buick V6 metric replacement. It is 18x1.5mm. They discontinued that one. 76 and later Rover V8 use the 3/4x16 like the Ford. Older Buick and Rover used 13/16". There used to be dual threaded nipple adapters available. I can't find them on the web, maybe discontinued also.

Aluminum 3/4-16

Hope this helps,

Just thought it odd that the Cologne Engine is Metric yet the oil filter adapter is not metric. It is close to 20mm-1.5 but NOT Metric!!

Dan, Thanks! Is the 90 degree adapter aluminum? Is that on both sides and is the pipe nipple threads in the Cologne V6 block Metric or 3/4" x 16?

It is "All" aluminum.

The bolt running through the oil filter housing (90 degree) into the block is 3/4-16

AND the oil filter screws onto the 3/4-16 threaded nipple to hold the filter in place.
