I was talking to the dealer I'm setting up a big Moss order through,
and had decided to try the hanging spinon filter adapter, the one that
has the filter mounted concentrically. I didn't have my catalogue in
front of me, so I just said that it's the one on page 12 of the
current catalogue. He replied:
Re the spin-on filter. The only one I see in my dealer catalogue for $30 is
the "Spin On Filter Adaptor" PNUM: 235-940. But there is a note citing
"Will not fit alternator-equipped MGBs from 1968-1980." There is no
specific note like that on Moss' website, but the application notes also
state only MGBs through 1967.
If I look at my engine (or a picture thereof):

I don't see any reason why a spinon adapter, that puts the oil filter
in the same place as the cannister style filter would not work on an
alternator equipped car.
When I look at the part on the moss site:
http://mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=29601&SortOrder=1
I don't see any reason why it would interfere with the alternator. as
a matter of fact, it looks like a much cleaner installation.
What's the issue with this on later cars?
