Bingo!! My filter bracket tilts inward and has the sender hole towards the
rear. Sounds like a simple fix to switch to the correct oil filter
bracket. Does anyone have an extra one for sale? (I really don't want to
cannibalize parts from my numbers matching 1969 engine unless its
unavoidable).
Thank you for explaining this to me, as it was not at all obvious to me!

There are 2 different oil filter brackets that the filter screws on to.
One
is for GTO's and tilts the filter inward towards the engine, with the
sender
hole towards the rear. The other is for firebirds and points the filter
straight down, with the sender hole towards the fender. You need to have
the
firebird bracket. With the long branch adaptor, the firebird filter
bracket
will work OK and there will be room for the filter. I had the same
problem and
the guys on the first gen site straightened me out. There's a recent
thread
there discussing this.
