   the 98hp had a filter where you changed the insert.
   
   90hp had a screw on one.
   
   oh its a fo-real...
   
   on your filter does it look like a 17mm nut on the top?
   
   or a big cartridge?

   If the Cat is underneath you would have a mk1 oil filter which is a cartridge which is on the left....
   
   If the cat is in the manifold its a mk2 oil filter which is a big thing with the 17mm looking nut on the top wich is on the right..

    you have a mk1 filter setup - get a manifold to suit.
