    i just finished a roller 360 for my 85 ramcharger, but now that i have
    fired it up, the oil filter base adapter seems to be leaking between
    the block and adapter plate. where can i find a tool to tighten this
    up, or even better, remove it and install a new gasket underneath?

    If it does not have provisions for socket? It should have access for (1/2"
    square) a extension inside the adapter bolt

    found the 3\8 square drive, pulled the plate, is there supposed to be a
    gasket there between the plate and block?

    No gasket in the center Their is one that fits into the block recess around
    the edge it's about 3/8 wide mates to the flat surface of the adapter
    plate
