302/Oil filter adapter hex size

[Lone Sailor]

Anyone know what the hex size is for the oil filter adapter on a 302?

I've had two different ones - assuming you are talking about the part that screws into the block.


One was 1/2 and one was 9/16.

[Lone Sailor]

Damn. That's what I was afraid of.

[turbostang]

Hell... most of the ones I had didn't even have the damn hex in them!! Good luck getting those out!

[Lone Sailor]

It's not getting it out that's the problem, it's finding one to put back in. Had a block machine and they apparently drilled it out and now I've gotta find another one. Ugh.

This is going to be near impossible to find.
