Hi all, I am new to the group here and need some help. My son and I bought a 68 Chevy short bed to fix up for him to drive. Alot of work has already been done to it but then it just sat for three years. I started going through the engine, it has been rebuilt, V8 307 CID but I wanted to clean out the gas tank, fuel lines, change oil and filter etc... After that we tried to start it and had a huge oil leak at the oil filter. Turns out that it was the oil filter adapter, it was cracked. I replaced the adapter and still leaks oil bad. How can I get the oil leak fixed? How much torque is required for the adapter, it only has two bolts in it. Should it only be snug like the filter? Did I maybe over tighten it? Thanks for any and all help.
