Nothing like an hour and a half oil change

The cool factor makes it worth it.
Absolutely. It's not that bad & just twice a yr. for me.

Rotate the 90* filter mount to face the filter forwards and then turn the steering wheel to the left all the way to open up the opening by the steering linkage?
I had oldschool fw headers like those and it worked perfectly for my 66....

Thanks. That would probably work for bottom access but would put my filter under full heat of two header tubes instead of one partial tube. Will check out potential on my next change though.
