I already saw ebay adapter but the price, WHOW, and for me I have to add shipment and taxe. very very expensive. Thank you | ||

Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 10290 Location: Lower Mainland BC | g80panthera - 2019-12-12 10:19 AM Hi, I tried send an email to Hothemiheads (my american language is not good at phone, better to write for me) but my email was rejected. Sorry. I forgot that you were in France. I just called Hot Hemi Heads in the States and asked about the poly filter adapter and the answer was no, that it not something that they are doing (or have ever done). He did say that I should contact Chrysler Firepower Magazine because they are making parts. Well after a lot of false leads, I finally figured out that it was Chrysler Power Magazine (no "Fire"). I called their phone number and got a hold of one of their tech support guys. I explained what I was looking for (on behalf of a guy in France with a 64 318 poly) and the response was "That adapter plate is the same as the ones that they used on the LA engines". That means the 318 LA, the 340, the 360, the LA 400 and maybe the later Magnum engines. That should make it easy. To remind ourselves, this is what you are looking for. Plus the gasket.

Not really "more". It's just the exchange rate. 1 CDN $ = US$ 0.75, i.e. 1.33 factor, i.e. US$6.76 = CDN$9.00, a factor that I have to live with every day. | ||

Member Posts: 8 Location: Longpont sur Orge, France | Hi All, I tried the adapter today and the result was very bad (as Niagara falls with oil). I was very short in time as I work outside, I put the original filter: it's our daily car. But I will try the next time with more time and I hope inside with car lifter. Thank you, Fabrice | ||

Ron, yes I have tried their website, many of the links to pages on it do not function. I have never experienced so much hassle in buying a car part, or so much misinformation incorrectly recommended that part above from people who have no experience with it, which is not correct and does not work on early style 318’s… | ||

Veteran Posts: 102 | Ron, Just did and only got as far as you did when it tried to calculate shipping after entering my zip code, indicated I should call, etc. The other odd thing was that it was selling for $32+. However, when I clicked on it to order the adapter the price that appeared on the screen when I was calculating shipping was now $30+ instead of $32+. Hopefully nothing nefarious has been placed on either of our computers just by clicking on the first screen. | ||

Hopefully nothing nefarious has been placed on either of our computers just by clicking on the first screen. The reason for the price change is because initially the price is quoted in CAN $$$. But when you click on the part, it translates the price into USD. Glenn - Agree. Too many people want to show how 'smart' they are without ever having done the conversion or even seen the kit in question. Ron | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1068 Location: Auckland, New Zealand. | While your suggestions are appreciated, you need to be made aware that you are suggesting things that don't work. There are two styles of these oil filter conversion kits. The type of oil filter conversion kit you keep recommending DOES NOT WORK on the early style 318!!! | ||

Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 10033 Location: So. Cal | I thought the two versions were the A-LA version and the Magnum version. Are you saying that there are 3 different versions? But if you can't find the old kit, the one from Summit that I originally suggested doesn't look like it would have clearance issues, and it's still available. But I haven't tried it. https://www.summitracing.com/oh/parts/ctr-22-575 Edited by Powerflite 2024-07-08 12:47 PM | ||
