The suggestion of swap meets for a paper or original ceramic and even the Ford inline would be easier, but I don't frequent many meets and also wanted something almost original in appearance so that said, I have been using a Purolator paper filter removed from a modern plastic housing for about a year.
After seeing this thread a week or so ago, decided to document it but got sidetracked. Will send Kev some pictures and my procedure later today or tomorrow. It was not too hard, was readily available, fits pretty well, passable in looks, and using that as a starting point maybe others can suggest alternatives requiring less work or opinions as to whether the one piece I made that might be an issue for others is needed.

You see these items by the dozens in car show flea markets, should be easy to find one including the housing for about $10. There was also a smaller paper element made by AC which could replace the ceramic element, also common in flea markets.

I tried soaking the ceramic in thinner and back blowing it. Still no good. I'm thinking along the lines of a brass or copper stranded wadding as an element perhaps captured in a fine screen shaped like the ceramic. The wadding could be a one of those pot scrubbers.
OR a stack of thin brass disks with holes in them like were used back in the 30's, 40'and early 50's in some filter applications. Anything. We ought to be able to come up with SOMETHINg to replace the ceramic. I'm wondering if the Ford filter in the pic above could be cut open and the paper element inside used.

I should have recorded my tranny number. It is Bxxxx right after the "star". Next time I'm up on the rack, I'll use the mirror I normally admire myself in.
