Dear Jim / Owen

Many thanks for your help, the previous owners restoration bills listed the following on March 1999 "removed oil filter, cut apart and cleaned. Glass beaded filter can parts. Worked to convert to a spin on filter. Soldered end on the oil filter can, glass beaded and tested for leaks, re-soldered one end and ground it on, glass beaded again, pressure tested and worked on leaks in oil filter, resoldered, ground, glass beaded and cleaned oil filter, reassembled, pressure tested to 70 PSI, NO LEAKS"
There is a filter kit listed for $81.25 and a Fram filter.

There appears to be oil sloshing in the canister and there has been some leakage from the joint to the old cainster so I am assuming it is the O ring conversion and I will try and unscrew with caution.

thanks again.
