the "easy way"

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.

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?

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'
