What's the preferred gasket for the oil cooler adaptor?
I took a WIX filter off, and the gasket was a little too big, so I put the one I took off back in (not the preferred method).
I put JR Slatens lines in as well. Very nicely done!
So, do I sacrifice a different brand filter, or assault the parts counter at the local GM stealership?

The rubber gasket from a Fram oil filter is what works.

Sometimes the gaskets from a new unit is slightly large, so one that
comes of the old is preferred.
Any rubber product tends to shrink, so we force a larger into the
retainer and carefully assemble it.

Go buy a Fram filter. The only part usable on a Fram filter is the rubber gasket. Use it to mount the cooler adapter and throw the rest of the filter away.
