Cartridge Oil Filter on 283 V8
I can still order the cartridge filters from LMC-Truck. Should I buy the screw on adaptor to run "normal" spin on filters? Any difference in oil flow? Here are some pictures. Any other cheaper place for the cartridges?
Thanks!

Re: Cartridge Oil Filter on 283 V8
IMO get an adapter and use a modern filter. I don't know if they flow or filter better but I'd be willing to bet that they're easier to get.

Re: Cartridge Oil Filter on 283 V8
Last time I bought one, I got it at my local NAPA. I broke my engine in with
it's stock canister and it worked fine (I'd guess). Pretty messy and you have zero choices concerning quality of the filter media. I got an old adapter from my local machine shop...probably way better quality than the help-rack crap from your box store parts house. In a nutshell...I settled on a quality modern spin-on. NAPA Gold works for me.

Re: Cartridge Oil Filter on 283 V8
i would go with the spin on. i changed a '68 327 over to a spin on filter. the only 283 i have had ,the block was not drilled & tapped to except the adapter to change it over. it must have been an early model block....

Re: Cartridge Oil Filter on 283 V8
the good thing about the cartridge filters is you can take the housing and cover and have it chromed so you've got a real big noticable piece of bling in the engine compartment

Maybe I'll try the cartridge first. The PO probably hadn't changed the oil in a long long time. As my mother used to say,"Back then, it was a great car-I never even had to change the oil!"
