Hmmm ... do you have the Moss aftermarket adapter or the factory hanging
spin-on filter head?

All of the fiter heads (caninister or spin-on), that I've seen, will
accept the oil cooler.  Take a look at the oil cooler bits in the Moss
catalog ... your filter head should be fitted with or accept the UNION
ADAPTOR (435-590) ... this allows you to fit the hose ... if you loosen
the bolt that secures the filter head to the block, you should be able
to spin the head around so that oriented to accept the hose.
