340 in a 1966 valiant, remote oil filter woes

You never know... we have not had one bit of problems with the Canton remote adapter. Can't recall if we had to torque it extra hard or not. We DID make sure the filter plate on the block was sealing well before we put the Canton piece on.

If I was the OP, I'd try this first...extra torque on the Moroso adapter's center bolt. Just increase it a bit at time and see. You might be able to grind an open end wrench thinner and bend it a bit to get in there.

The head on this thing is like 1.5", and I did put a 3/4" ratchet on it and made sure it was very snug. I'm sure I can tighten it more, and I may try, but 3/4" ratchet and socket = plenty of leverage :)

I wonder how different the canton is than the moroso. They look very, very similar.
