Chev 216 oil filter

[Ken Thomas]

Hi everybody, could someone tell me which two sets of head stud holes (picture one) the oil filter bracket shown in picture two goes onto. I think it is the two in front of the steam tube/temp gauge connection, but I am not sure. I do not want to assemble the head with the two special studs for the bracket until I am sure. I have retrieved the parts from different engines (not the NOS filter) & on one the “studs” were fitted either side of the steam/temp gauge connection, & this cannot be correct. I think the two studs go in the two holes in front of the steam/temp connection, but would be grateful of comment. Assembling the manifolds, carby & air filter may give me some indication, but I would rather be correct. I have tried placing the filter on another motor & it seems to fit inside the dogs box OK. Is there any issues there to consider.
