Do I need to shorten the bung on the radiator or get a shorter oil filter? How was the BB radiator lower bung arranged? Pic of the dilemma: 6638695-radiator.JPG (73 downloads)

How was the BB radiator lower bung arranged? do some quick measureing/eyeballing & if a shorter filter would give you room to run the hose that'd b the fastest solution. BB's did come w the hose on both sides so not sure how that worked as I'm just getting back into BB's. Might b when they switched the hose they switched the nipple. holler how it turns out & the sol live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

That is a particularly long stub on your radiator. If you shorten that you can get a hose on that as I have done that a couple of times, but it is always a fight with the filter when changing oil. But you can do that. Also as said, a radiator shop can move that as well. Good luck, that year Dodge is a great looking car. 6638983-engblkcar.JPG (75 downloads)
