SBC Header and oil filter clerance problems.
In My 70 vette with a small block.... I had Ceramic coated headers put on and when i just went to change the oil i couldn't totally unscrew it to come out because it hits the header.. I think i can cut it off, but what can i replace it with? Do they make a "low profile" oil filter thats alot shorter?? I used Headman headers, not an unknown off brand, so maybe this is a common problem? Thank You!

Yep, small block oil filters come long and short. Just ask the Napa counter person for the short style or look through the filter catalog at your parts house for a later year car with a 350 engine, you should be able to find a short one pretty easy.
