I vaguely remember someone was making -- or at least advertising -- a spin on filter and adapter assy in the 70s or 80s that could replace the canister style filters. I believe the reason they were being promoted was the more readily available spin ons and easier to change aspect but don't think that is one of them. It must not have been that popular or else very expensive because aside from the ads don't think I've ever seen one on a car.

As I recall, on the item I am thinking of the tubing was different from stock and more hidden than the one on that car but at a quick glance the assy looked proper. There was a bottom cover over the spin on portion which made it look a lot like a canister. I believe the cover screwed on but won't swear to it.
