[TR] Spin-on Filter/Adapter

[lee at automate-it.com]

Dave,

Most of the setups like this I've seen (including mine) have the filter 
turned slightly clockwise from vertical. This is not a gravity-fed 
filter system, so orientation of the filter shouldn't matter. (But I 
also admit that I could be dangerously wrong.) Most of my modern cars 
have the spin-on filter horizontal. And the Subaru Outback w/ turbo 
engine has it upside down! (see attached).
