We put new Edelbrock aluminum heads on my stock 1949 ford 8BA flathead …….. in my bone stock 1949 F1 truck but the oil filter assembly wont go back on as the 3 bolt hole pattern on the new Edelbrock aluminum heads is different

stock oil filter can mounting bracket is 4.5” bolt to bolt centers apart and the mounting holes in the Edelbrock aluminum heads are 3.5” apart bolt to bolt center ???????

Has anyone else faced this ?? I wrote to Edelbrock and they said they have never heard of this problem ???????????????

Do you know Is there an adaptor plate or an after market oil filter assembly or something to resolve this ???

Thanks,
Brad Evans
