Oh, and MIKE, thanks much for the input. In the process of doing just that. In the meantime will try to see if a shorter filter will fit. FORD told me most of their Cobra engine trouble related somehow to moving away from standard filter set ups. They recommended bagging all the extra hardware!. But heck. What fun would that be, right? Anyway, engine number two has dodged a bullet for now.
