In line with my previous question about oil choices for my '67 250 cid engine, I find that the oil filter is placed in a horizontal position, instead of a more preferable vertical position.

Is there an aftermarket device that would allow for positioning the filter vertically so as to prevent a less-messy removal of the filter during oil changes, and also prevent the new filter oil from splashing out when screwing on the new filter?

I don't like running newly-oiled engines with a dry filter. I haven't changed the oil on this truck yet, but plan to do so soon for the first time.

Seems that GM didn't think much of DIY mechanics.
