Well, I hated to, but I finally got sick of the leaks from time to time with the old oil canister setup and I converted it to the spin on cartridge style. I realize that this move reduces some of it's "pile of misery", staus, but a man has got to know his limitations. The canister looks much more in place than a box store filter cartridge, but what can I say, I took the easy way!

By the way, this is on a 223 with a '59 block.

 

Whoa! Slow down there.LOL
What the heck is next, rust abatement?
Is the dark side calling you?

 

Steve, you can atone cor your sin by adding an extra road draft tube somehow.

 

I guess I kind of blacked out for a moment cause when I got thru and had to top the oil off, I used a quart of Sythetic!?! Who am I??

Okay, here's the total confession, I even put an old wolf whistle I had laying around on it! I must be going thru change of life again. What's next, a red convertible and a girl friend?

 

Left upper: Old rolling pile of miseries by-pass cartridge (aka 'sock') oil filter.

Left lower: Old rolling pile of miseries full flow Spin-On oil filter.

 

A girlfriend with a red convertible. Just make sure it's a Ford

 

Of course!

By the way, I could prolly handle the car but the girl would kill me, or if not, my wife would!

 

With the time you are saving on oil leaks/changes, you will have more time to cruise and utilize the wolf whistle.
Just don't do anything thats going to get you killed and or maimed.

 

Thanks for the caution, seemed to have calmed down again. Must have been too much peperoni on the pizza!

 

Like letting the wife know about the blonde with the red convertible
Reminds me of my time in the Navy. Shore duty, when a wife called for one of the guys in the shop.

"Is that your wife or the blonde in the yellow Corvette?" Some of the wives didn't get the joke.

 

Spur, it's no longer a 'midlife crisis' at our age! I don't have a wolf whistle, but I have a really sweet hula girl on the dash. That's all I can handle for 'the other woman'

Here you go , Steve.

 

Oh thanks alot, George!

 

Gary, you are right about it not really being mid life, wishfull thinking on my part! And yes, your hula girl is awsome! More than enough for me as well with the great woman I already have!

 

When only Hula Girl and I are on the road, I can drive as fast as I want! Kinda scary in a cobbled up one ton
