Thanks guys....I was tired from working several hours on a few engines as well as getting this engine ready to put in. After the oil puddle deal, I put my tools away and turned out the lights in my garage. I should have waited until when I could get back to it and taken a look at the obvious possibilities before posting. Tomorrow I'll get a look at it and go from there. I guess I should have left the original oil canister on, but the thought of non-availability of the filter not being there persuaded me to go with the adapter. Heck, I may go that way anyway. I appreciate your responses.
