John, Thanks for this. I was going to ask about replacing the oil bath with a paper filter but you beat me to it. The only question I have is did you have to cut or remove the oil filter section holding the kapok in the top portion of the filter housing or does the filter fit over without modification? I can't see how that could come off without grinding or cutting unless I am missing something. If need be I do have a spare oil bath set up from my parts car which I guess I could cut up but I really would hate to. Also thanks for the update on the cooling system rebuild.


Dave, the pleated paper element replaces the part that has the Kapoc material. No cutting, bending, or drilling. Just lift out the old part, clean out the oil, and install the new type filter. Stock looking from the outside, modern in the inside. More efficient filtering, less air resistance, and easier to maintain. What's not to like? I kept my old filter part, wrapped it in a plastic bag and put it with accumulating spare parts.
