SANDWICH ADAPTER INSTALLATION
Note: This kit is designed to fit GM vehicles Manufactured between
1963-2007, primarily SB & BB V8’s.
The Sandwich Adapter fits between the oil filter and the engine block. Before
removing the oil filter, check the clearance between the bottom of the filter and
the closest vehicle obstruction. If there are none, then proceed with the
installation. Otherwise, the Sandwich Adapter is 2-1/4” Thick, so you will need
2-1/2” more clearance then stock. If you determine that the stock filter will not
fit, refer to the Filter Chart for alternative filter heights.
1. Remove the factory oil filter from the vehicle.
2. Take the Sandwich Adapter and the two Hose Barb Fittings provided.
Using Teflon Tape or a suitable sealant, screw the Hose Barb Fittings
clockwise into the Sandwich Adapter until snug. (See Diagram #2)
3. Using a wrench tighten the two Hose Barb Fittings.
4. Take the O-ring provided, apply a thin film of oil and install into the
O-ring groove on the Sandwich Adapter. (See Diagram #2)
5. Making sure the engine block filter landing is clean from oil and dirt,
take the Sleeve Nut, Sandwich Adapter, O-ring, and install onto engine
sliding the Sleeve Nut thru the Sandwich Adapter. Turn sleeve nut
clockwise onto the engines filter nipple. (See Diagram #2)
6. Using a Torque Wrench, torque the Sleeve Nut to 20 ft. Lbs.
VEHICLE TESTING
1. Start the engine and quickly check all connections for leaks.

ROUTING HOSES
1. Using the remaining Hose Clamps supplied, route the looped hose carefully along the frame to the Sandwich Adapter already
installed on the engine making sure to stay away from moving parts, exhaust systems and any sharp objects.
2. Cut hose at desired length.
3. Connect the outlet port on the Sandwich Adapter to either port on the oil cooler.
4. Connect the inlet port on the Sandwich Adapter to the remaining port on the oil cooler.
5. Tighten Hose Clamps.
6. Using the 6” Zip Ties supplied, secure hoses in place.
When routing hoses, be sure to keep all hoses away from sharp edges, moving parts and hot engine components.
Hoses should be routed carefully and should not be bent in less than a 3” radius.
A kinked hose will restrict flow and could cause transmission failure.
