<< Summit Racing sells them for $12.95 if you are talking about the remote
 filter holder that mounts on the firewall. Just plumb the oil output
 from the front cover to the filter holder and then to the oil cooler.
 Mount it level with the top of the engine so all the oil does not
 syphon out when you remove the filter. >>

The Summit P/N is TRD-1028. It is for Ford style filters. I use the K&N 10
micron absolute, 16 GPM at 80 PSI, and it has a 550 PSI burst strength. No part
number just the name "Performance Gold filter." to fit the remote mount. Both
on page 145 of the December catalogue. Before you install the filter mount,
clean off all of the sharp edges inside the thing. Summit is at 1-800-230-3030

Speaking of that remote filter mount. This is an Earl's 1/2 NPT to
dash eight right angle swivel adapter. Notice the difference in the ID's. You pay for
dash eight but you get less than a dash six sized hole ID in the 1/2" NPT
part :) I have not figured out exactly why just yet. I recommend the regular
non swivel part as it is much cheaper and it does not restrict the oil
flow like this one does.
