Hi,

I have a 67 pick-up with an early 998 engine, it has a cartridge type oil filter on it at present. My question, has anyone tried converting from this type of oil filter housing to the spin on cartridge type?
At present the pick-up is in storage in South Africa, but we fly back in December to move it, but I need to get it roadworthy first and part of this is giving it a good service, but I don't want problems trying to change the filter only for it to leak from the canister.

I think almost everyone has done this. It's a straightforward bolt-on job, the thread into the block being 3/8" UNC. You will need new bolts.
