Mine went missing at the shop. Also who makes an adapter for the factory oil filter on a 62 261 that lets you use a spin on filter? Thanks | | |

No step down needed on the 235, though. length is about 8 3/4". As for a spin on filter, any of the remote style filters will work, Trans Dapt has a good selection.
