The left (front) fitting is the supply and the right (rear) is the return.

You should only need the big o ring.

You can still use the Napa filters, will just be a different #.

I use a Wix #51069, I think the Napa # is 1069.

I eun the 51626 from WIX so the napa part number would be 1626.  It has the same characteristics at the 51515 just the different thread size that fits the Texas style adapter

Does the oil get enough cooling with the Texas setup since it is just coming out of the small fittings on the header side of the motor?

Its a trade off. You open up more airflow to the front/side of the motor by eliminating the filter from the front corner...and you also eliminate about 2 pounds of lines and stuff. I'm switching to it too this winter when the engine gets re-done. The builder highly recommends it.

The previous owner of my car used 10AN lines for the filter side of the motor, so it would probably drop more than 2 lbs.   ;D  I guess these are truely air cooled and not oil cooled motors, so more airflow around the motor would help.  I also wonder if the smaller lines from the header side would allow the oil to sit in the cooler longer and bring the oil temp down more.
