I've recently had to rebuild my 260 because of a dead cylinder. While it
was out I spent the money to do it right. Rhoades lifters, roller tips,
hotter cam, and headers from Sunbeam Specialties. Rick assured me that no
dimpleing would be required so I had them ceramic coated.

I have tried 3 separate remote oil filter relocators, TD performace adapter,
TD performance 90 degree, and today just got a canton 90 degree adapter.
only problem is none of these will fit with the headers. the TD performance
90 degree almost fits but I have an exhaust leak becuase the header just
barely sits on it.

Can anyone recomend a fix or adapter that will work better for me?

Thanks,

Yes. The stock one The previous owner of my car got some Gate
adapters. On one end is the 1/2 inch inverse flare fitting that the stock
adapter uses. The other end is a hose barb for 1/2 inch id hose. There is a
90 degree and and a straight fitting. I just replaced the hose recently
with Earl's steel braided hose.

Bruce,

Try www.dalesresto.com and refer to the parts link. I don't have any
personal experience with Dale's adapter, but the description says:

"10026 Oil Filter Adapter Billet aluminum, fits all headers $125.00"

Most importantly, this adapter is made specifically for the Tiger!

Dale is a great guy with a solid reputation (this may be old news to you).

Good luck,
Shaun

Transdapt (spelling). You will have to grind off some of the pot metal,
but it will fit.
